The release of the Kali Linux 2021.3 distribution has been unveiled, designed for testing systems for vulnerabilities, conducting audits, analyzing residual information, and identifying the consequences of attacks by malicious actors. All original developments created within the distribution are released under the GPL license and are available through a public Git repository. Several ISO image options have been prepared for download, sized at 380 MB, 3.8 GB, and 4.6 GB. The builds are available for x86, x86_64, and ARM architectures (armhf and armel, Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, ARM Chromebook, Odroid). By default, the Xfce desktop is offered, but KDE, GNOME, MATE, LXDE, and Enlightenment e17 are optionally supported. <\/p>\n
Kali includes one of the most comprehensive toolsets for computer security specialists: from tools for testing web applications and penetrating wireless networks to software for reading data from RFID identification chips. It comes with a collection of exploits and over 300 specialized utilities for security checks, 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 keys (Pyrit) using CUDA and AMD Stream technology, allowing the utilization of NVIDIA and AMD GPUs for computational operations. <\/p>\n
In the new release: <\/p>\n
\n
OpenSSL settings have been modified to achieve maximum compatibility, including reverting support for deprecated protocols and algorithms by default, such as TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. To disable the outdated algorithms, you can use the kali-tweaks utility (Hardening\/Strong Security).\n
The project site has launched the Kali-Tools section with a collection of information about the available tools.\n
Improved performance of Live sessions running on VMware, VirtualBox, Hyper-V, and QEMU+Spice virtualization systems, including the ability to use a shared clipboard with the host system and support for drag & drop functionality. System-specific virtualization settings can be adjusted using the kali-tweaks utility (Virtualization section).\n
New utilities added:\n
\n
Berate_ap \u2014 creation of fake wireless access points.\n
CALDERA \u2014 emulation of malicious activity.\n
EAPHammer \u2014 execution of attacks on Wi-Fi networks with WPA2-Enterprise.\n
HostHunter \u2014 identification of active hosts on the network.\n
RouterKeygenPC \u2014 generation of keys for WPA\/WEP Wi-Fi.\n
Subjack \u2014 subdomain takeover.\n
WPA_Sycophant \u2014 implementation of a client for conducting EAP Relay attacks. <\/ul>\n
The KDE desktop has been updated to version 5.21.\n
Improved support for Raspberry Pi, Pinebook Pro, and various ARM devices.\n
TicHunter Pro has been prepared \u2014 a variant of the NetHunter edition for TicWatch Pro smartwatches. NetHunter provides environments for mobile devices based on the Android platform with a suite of tools for testing systems for vulnerabilities. With NetHunter, it is possible to check for mobile-specific attacks, such as through emulating USB device behavior (BadUSB and HID Keyboard \u2014 emulation of a network USB adapter that can be used for MITM attacks, or a USB keyboard executing character substitution) and creating rogue access points (MANA Evil Access Point). NetHunter is installed in the native Android environment as a chroot image, where a specially adapted version of Kali Linux runs. <\/ul>\n
