Offensive Security acaba de lançar o Kali Linux 2019.1, a primeira versão de 2019 do canivete suíço para profissionais de segurança informática.
A versão mais recente do sistema operativo Kali Linux é incluída até à versão 4.19.13 do kernel e remenda também vários bugs, e atualizações de ferramentas da sua suite de software, como Metasploit, theHarvester, DBeaver e muito mais.
Kali Linux 2019.1 comes with the latest version of Metasploit (version 5.0) penetration testing tool, which “includes database and automation APIs, new evasion capabilities, and usability improvements throughout,” making it more efficient platform for penetration testers.
Metasploit versão 5.0 é o primeiro grande lançamento desde a versão 4.0, lançada em 2011.
O Kali Linux 2019.1 adicionou também suporte para Banana Pi e Banana Pro que são parte da versão 4.19 do kernel.
“Veyron has been moved to a 4.19 kernel, and the Raspberry Pi images have been simplified, so it is easier to figure out which one to use,” Kali Linux project maintainers says in their official releaseannouncement.
“There are no longer separate Raspberry Pi images for users with TFT LCDs because we now include re4son’s kalipi-tft-config script on all of them, so if you want to set up a board with a TFT, run ‘kalipi-tft-config’ and follow the prompts.”
As máquinas virtuais e ARM images foram também atualizadas para a nova versão 2019.1.
