Kali includes one of the most comprehensive sets of tools for cybersecurity professionals: from tools for testing web applications and penetrating wireless networks to programs for reading data from RFID identification chips. It comes with a collection of exploits and over 300 specialized utilities for security assessment, such as Aircrack, Maltego, SAINT, Kismet, Bluebugger, Btcrack, Btscanner, Nmap, p0f. Additionally, the distribution includes tools for accelerating password cracking (Multihash CUDA Brute Forcer) and WPA key cracking (Pyrit) through the use of CUDA and AMD Stream technologies, allowing the use of NVIDIA and AMD GPUs for computational operations.
The new release updates the versions of the included components, including the core and adds new versions of the packages , and . A new release has been formed , for mobile devices based on the Android platform with a collection of tools for testing systems for vulnerabilities. This includes the ability to test for mobile-specific attacks, such as through emulation of USB device operation ( — emulation of a network USB adapter that can be used for man-in-the-middle attacks, or a USB keyboard performing character substitution) and creating fake access points (). NetHunter is installed in the standard environment of the Android platform in the form of a chroot image, where a specially adapted version of Kali Linux runs.
In the new version of NetHunter, the number of supported devices has significantly expanded. Overall, support for 50 device models is provided, along with for 13 devices, including Nexus (5, 6, 7, 9), OnePlus One, OnePlus 2, Galaxy Tab S4, Gemini Nougat, Sony XPeria Z1, and ZTE Axon 7. New builds have been added for
