The Kali Linux team has released Kali Linux 2024.3, the latest iteration of their popular penetration testing and ethical hacking distribution.
This update brings a host of new features, including 11 new hacking tools, improved Raspberry Pi support, and various behind-the-scenes optimizations.
“Our focus has been on a lot of behind-the-scenes updates and optimizations since the last release. There have been some messy migrations, with multiple stacks, all interrelating (transition have been like buses, all coming at once!),” Kali Linux team said.
After finishing the t64 transition, Kali moved straight into transitions for GCC 14, glibc 2.40, and Python 3.12. The update to Python 3.12 is the most significant, as it removed some long-deprecated APIs, breaking a number of packages. This will be the default Python version in the next Kali release 2024.4.
