Offensive Security has released Kali Linux 2022.3, the third version of 2022, with virtual machine improvements, Linux Kernel 5.18.5, new tools to play with, and improved ARM support.
With this release, Kali Linux is using Linux Kernel 5.18.5.
While Kali Linux already had VM images for VMware and VirtualBox, they have made a few new changes to make it easier to deploy Kali on a VM. Offensive Security is now distributing a VirtualBox image as a VDI disk and a.vbox metadata file, allowing you to add Kali as a new VM quickly.
Five new tools added in Kali Linux 2022.3.
What's a new Kali Linux release without new tools to play with?
To start using Kali Linux 2022.3, you can upgrade your existing installation, select a platform, or directly download ISO images for new installs and live distributions.
