Kali Linux 2023.3 Released with 9 New Tools for Ethical Hacking, Linux Kernel 6.3
Kali Linux 2023.3 is here almost three months after Kali Linux 2023.2 and it bumps the kernel from Debian Bookworm’s long-term supported Linux 6.1 LTS to Linux kernel 6.3, which, unfortunately, reached end of life in early July 2023. However, the new kernel should offer better hardware support.
There are nine new tools included in the Kali Linux 2023.3 release, namely Calico, a cloud-native networking and network security tool, cri-tools, command-line and validation tools for the Kubelet Container Runtime Interface, Hubble, a network, service, and security observability for Kubernetes tool using eBPF, and ImHex, a hex editor for reverse engineers and programmers.
