Personally I don't know these files, but it is easy to display their content:

Code:

more hosts.txt

more hostname.txt

Or, to literally show the difference:

Code:

diff hosts.txt hostname.txt

It depends how you configured it, but usually username on the left, hostname on the right. "kali" is definitely not an address.

Why do you want to use Kali? You don't seem to know enough about networking to be a penetration tester.
