Already the users of the most emblematic operating system for computer security, Ethical Hacker, pentester, auditing and computer forensics (Kali Linux) are partying, after learning that a new version has been released this year.
Kali Linux 2019.3 was the name that received this new update, which highlights the tweaks that were given to its kernel that rose to 4.19.13, improving with them multiple bugs and updates, described in detail in the official link that was published on September 2 https://bugs.kali.org/changelog_page.php
With this it is the third update that the distribution receives so far this year, maintaining the same rhythm of the previous two years, hence the pattern of placing the year followed by the update of the moment.
One of the most notable changes is the jump made by the mestasploit package, this tool had not received any news since 2011, and now we can enjoy version 5.0.
Certainly this is not the only distribution fully dedicated to conglomerate hundreds of tools and software dedicated solely to computer security but since its inception when it was just called Backtrack (based on debit) it has taken thousands of followers and acceptance in this market reaching Be the favorite of many.
Another of the improvements presented is the support for ARM images,
A particular premiere is the support of the new official image of the LXD container format (pronounced Lexdi and is a hypervisor for Linux containers) that joins the options that were already being handled previously.
A novelty to the project is the integration of Cloudflare Content Delivery Network (CDN) as new means of repositories available on the network for the relevant updates that will arise from now on.
If you notice that the word kali.download appears on the screen when you run the apt update command, it means that you have actually connected to a Cloudfare repository.
It is planned that with the support of the GitHub platform, minor update packages and update patches can be received from the community. Which means that anyone could contribute their grain of sand in this project, for this they are preparing a series of procedures on how to create such packages to maintain the system standard.
