What's new?

Support for wireless cards RTL8812AU

Distribution developers have received many requests to include drivers for wireless chipsets RTL8812AU. These drivers are not part of the standard Linux kernel and have been modified to allow packet injection in the 802.11 AC standard.

Optimized CUDA GPU Cracking support

Installing pre-installed graphics drivers has always been a source of frustration in Kali. In the new distribution, this flaw has been eliminated: you can now use NVIDIA GPUs natively when using Hashcat and Pyrit.

OpenVAS 9

The popular OpenVas 9 scanner is now in Kali Linux. A small “but” is not out of the box, but from repositories.

Distributions

Distributions are available as ISO images for x64, x32, ARM platforms; with graphical shells Gnome, XFCE, etc .; as images of virtual machines VirtualBox and Vmware.
