Kali Linux has released version 2024.1, the first version of 2024, with four new tools, a theme refresh, and desktop changes.
Kali Linux is a distribution created for cybersecurity professionals and ethical hackers to perform penetration testing, security audits, and research against networks.
As is typical for the year’s first version, the Kali Team has released new visual elements, including wallpapers and updates to the boot menu and login display.
As with every release, it wouldn’t be fun without some new tools toys to play with.
Below are the four new tools added in Kali 2024.1:
blue-hydra - Bluetooth device discovery service
opentaxii - TAXII server implementation from EclecticIQ
readpe - Command-line tools to manipulate Windows PE files
snort - Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System
In addition to the new tools, Kali says they upgraded the Kernel version to 6.6.
