Kali Linux 2020.2: New look, new packages, new installer options

By
Kali Linux 2020.2

Offensive Security has released Kali Linux 2020.2, the latest iteration of the popular open-source penetration testing platform.

Kali Linux 2020.2 changes
  • Dark and light themes are now available for the KDE Plasma desktop environment.
  • The login screen got new graphics and a new layout.
  • New package logos for each tool

There are several cosmetic changes in this newest Kali Linux release:
  • New packages: the latest version of the GNOME desktop environment (v3.36), Joplin (an open-source note taking and to-do application), Nextnet (a pivot point discovery tool), SpiderFoot (automated OSINT collection for reconnaissance), and Python 3.8. Also, the module for Python 2 has been re-included temporarily because some tools still need it.
  • After recently switching the default “root/toor” credentials to “kali/kali” for desktop images and making the default user account a standard, unprivileged (non-root) user, Offensive Security decided to do the same for ARM images (“alternate flavors” of Kali for different ARM hardware).
  • PowerShell has become more accessible: it has been moved from the Kali Linux’s network repository to the kali-linux-large metapackage, meaning that it will be ready for use if users choose to install this meta-package during system setup or later, once Kali is up and running (through a simple command).
  • Kali’s Mobile pen-testing platform, Kali NetHunter, got support for additional devices.
  • New changes/options in the installer.

Today, the short looping clips, GIFs are everywhere—on your social media, on your message boards, on your chats, helping users perfectly express their emotions, making people laugh, and reliving a highlight. But what if an innocent-looking GIF greeting with Good morning, Happy Birthday, or Merry Christmas message hacks your smartphone? Well, not a theoretical idea anymore. WhatsApp has recently patched a critical security vulnerability in its app for Android, which remained unpatched for at least 3 months after being discovered, and if exploited, could have allowed remote hackers to compromise Android devices and potentially steal files and chat messages.
