Security News > 2020 > November > Kali Linux 2020.4 released: New default shell, fresh tools, and more!

Offensive Security has released Kali Linux 2020.4, the latest version of its popular open source penetration testing platform.

ZSH is now Kali's new default shell on desktop images and cloud, Bash remains the default shell for other platforms for the time being.

Users can, of course, use that which they prefer, but be aware that, visually, Bash has been made to look more like ZSH. Upon logging into a Kali terminal or console, users may be presented with a message from Kali developers that will point them to more information about that specific installation, in case they need it for troubleshooting.

Finally, Offensive Security is partnering with Marcello Salvati, the creator of the CrackMapExec, to deliver new updates exclusively to Kali Linux for a 30 day period.

If you're wondering about the future of Kali Linux, read our interview with Jim O'Gorman, Chief Content and Strategy officer at Offensive Security and leader of the Kali team.
