Kali Release new version Kali Linux 2017.3. Its includes all patches, fixes, updates, and improvements before the last one. In this update version, the kernel has been updated to 4.13.10 and it includes some well-know improvements:
- CIFS now uses SMB 3.0 by default.
- EXT4 directories can now contain 2 billion entries instead of the old 10 million limit
- TLS support is now built into the kernel itself
In addition to the new kernel and all of the updates and fixes we pull from Debian, Kali have also updated our packages for Reaver, PixieWPS, Burp Suite, Cuckoo, The Social Engineering Toolkit, and more. Take a look at the Kali Changelog to see what else has been updated in this release, or read on to see what else is new.
InSpy
InSpy is a small but useful utility its performs indexing/enumeration on LinkedIn and even its can find people based on job title, company, or email address.
CherryTree
CherryTree is now added to Kali Linux 2017.3 for all of your note-taking needs. CherryTree is very simple to use and will be familiar to you if you have used any of the “big-name” note organization applications.
Sublist3r
Sublist3r is a wonderfull application that enables you to enumerate subdomains beyond multiple sources at once. Sublist3r has integrated the venerable SubBrute, allowing you to also brute force subdomains using a wordlist.
OSRFramework
Another excellent OSINT tool that has been added to the repos is OSRFramework, a collection of scripts that can enumerate users, domains, and more across over 200 separate services.
Massive Maltego Metamorphosis
One of our favourite applications in Kali has always been Maltego, the incredible open-source information gathering tool from Paterva, and the equally incredible Casefile. These two applications had always been separate entities but in this version, they are now combined into one integrated application that still allows you to run Maltego Community Edition and Casefile, but now it also works for those of you with Maltego Classic or Maltego XL licenses. As always, the tools perform wonderfully and look greatfully doing it.
Thank you
