Kali Linux has released version 2024.4, the fourth and final version of 2024, and it is now available with fourteen new tools, numerous improvements, and deprecates some features.
Kali Linux is a distribution created for cybersecurity professionals and ethical hackers to perform penetration testing, ethical hacking, vulnerability research, security audits, and red team exercises.
