Kali Linux 2023.2, the second version of 2023, is now available with a pre-built Hyper-V image and thirteen new tools, including the Evilginx framework for stealing credentials and session cookies.
As part of the Kali Linux release, the Kali team has released a pre-built Hyper-V image configured for 'Enhanced Session Mode,' which allows you to connect to the virtual machine using the Remote Desktop Protocol for a better experience.
We say it with every release, but it wouldn't be a new Kali Linux version without some new toys to play with.
This version of Kali Linux brings a new audio subsystem, with the team replacing the PulseAudio sound server system with PipeWire.
Gnome has also been updated to version 44, bringing updated Kali theming, a new Settings app, and image thumbnails in the file chooser.
To start using Kali Linux 2023.2, you can upgrade your existing installation, select a platform, or directly download ISO images for new installs and live distributions.
