Seasoned Kali Linux users are already aware of this, but for the ones who are not, we do also produce weekly builds that you can use as well. If you cannot wait for our next release and you want the latest packages (or bug fixes) when you download the image, you can just use the weekly image instead. This way you’ll have fewer updates to do. Just know that these are automated builds that we do not QA like we do our standard release images. But we gladly take bug reports about those images because we want any issues to be fixed before our next release!

  • Kali Linux 2021.4 released: Wider Samba compatibility, The Social-Engineer Toolkit, new tools, and more! - Help Net Security

    Offensive Security released Kali Linux 2021.4, which comes with a number of improvements: wider Samba compatibility, switching package manager mirrors, enhanced Apple M1 support, Kaboxer theming, updates to Xfce, GNOME and KDE, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W + USBArmory MkII ARM images, as well as new tools.

    [...]

    With the latest update of Kaboxer tools no longer look out of place, as it brings support for window themes and icon themes. This allows the program to properly integrate with the rest of the desktop and avoids the usage of ugly fallback themes.

    Here is a comparison of how zenmap looks with the default Kali Dark theme, compared to the old appearance:

Kali Linux 2021.4 released – screenshots

  • Kali Linux 2021.4 released – screenshots

    The developers of Kali Linux have announced the release of Kali Linux 2021.4, the last in the 2021 release cycle. Kali Linux is a Debian-based distribution targeted at security professionals, so all the best security tools for hacking and penetration testing (pentesting) are nicely packaged for easy access and use. This release comes exactly 7 days after I installed Kali Linux 2021.3 alongside Ubuntu 20.04.3 on a MacBook Air in dual-boot fashion.

    Given that Kali Linux is a rolling release distribution, the difference between that up to date installation on my MacBook Air and this 2021.4 release is very minor, so all I had to do to match what you’ll get by downloading and installing it afresh is a simple sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y.

    Life with Linux is good!

    Here are a few screenshots from my installation of Kali Linux 2021.4. You may read all the new and updated features in the release notes and download a copy for installation from here, if you do not have Kali Linux installed on your computer already.

Kali Linux 2021.4 improves ARM support and updates desktops

  • Kali Linux 2021.4 improves ARM support and updates desktops

    Three months after the last launch (or penultimate, depending on how you see it), we already have between us Kali Linux 2021.4, the latest version of the distribution aimed at security audits and which provides a large number of tools for conducting penetration testing and ethical hacking. Despite being a system created for specific purposes, in recent times it has evolved to be more user-friendly for desktop use.

    From Kali Linux 2021.4 what stands out are the improvements in hardware and virtual reality support and the update of the desktop environments, an area in which it offers variety while keeping Xfce as the default option.

    For starters, thanks to the inclusion of Linux 5.14, Kali Linux already works on build for Apple Silicon from the VMware Fusion Tech Preview, the virtualization solution of the well-known company for teams from the bitten apple. This means that the system has support for the virtual GPU, in addition to the update of the ‘open-vm-tools’ package and the automatic detection of a VMware environment to install the package ‘open-vm-tools-desktop’ by default on installation. Those responsible for the distribution remember that this support is limited for now to the 64-bit ARM architecture.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
