Offensive Security releases Kali Linux 2022.3, the third version of 2022, with virtual machine improvements, Linux Kernel 5.18.5, new tools to play with, and improved ARM support.
For ethical hackers, Kali Linux is a distribution designed to perform penetration testing, security audits, and cybersecurity research against networks.
Five new tools have been added up with this release, including a password spraying tool, a PHP post-exploitation toolkit, and a new network analysis tool.
The five new tools added in the Kali Linux 2022.3 is BruteShark – Network Analysis Tool, DefectDojo– Open-source application vulnerability correlation and security orchestration tool, phpsploit– Stealth post-exploitation framework, shellfire– Exploiting LFI/RFI and command injection vulnerabilities, SprayingToolkit– Password spraying attacks against Lync/S4B, OWA, and O365.
While Kali Linux already had VM images for VMware and VirtualBox, they have made some new changes to make it easier to deploy Kali on a VM.
Offensive Security is now distributing a VirtualBox image as a VDI disk and a .vbox metadata file, letting you add Kali as a new VM quickly, Bleeping Computer reports.
Weekly builds of VM images for Kali Linux will be released carrying the bleeding edge packages. However, they will not receive as thorough testing as the regular releases.
