New Update Kali Linux 2022.2

Kali Linux 2022.2 is here exactly three months after Kali Linux 2022.1.  it’s powered by the Linux 5.16 kernel series, which unfortunately reached end-of-life (EOL). Last month and it will no longer receive maintenance updates from upstream that patch security vulnerabilities or fix bugs.

Desktop Enhancements:

Kali Linux still uses the lightweight and customizable Xfce as the default desktop environment, which, in this release, received a bunch of tweaks including a new simplified panel layout for ARM devices, default wallpaper for multi-monitor setups, mouse pointer size improvements, and other changes to make your workflow smoother.

Besides Xfce, the Kali Linux 2022.2 release also ships with the latest and greatest GNOME 42 and KDE Plasma 5.24 LTS desktop environments. Both now feature an improved app dashboard where graphical apps will now respect the custom icon provided by Kali.

New Tools

There’s no Kali Linux release without some new tools. This update brings BruteShark, a Network Forensic Analysis Tool (NFAT), Evil-WinRM, the ultimate WinRM shell, Hakrawler, a web crawler to discover endpoints and assets, Httpx, a fast and multi-purpose HTTP toolkit, as well as LAPSDumper, a dumper for LAPS passwords.

Also included are the PhpSploit stealth post-exploitation framework, PEDump dumper for Win32 executable files, SentryPeer SIP peer-to-peer honeypot for VoIP, Sparrow-wifi graphical Wi-Fi analyzer for Linux, and wifipumpkin3 powerful framework for rogue access points.

Kali ARM Updates

Automated Copy of Missing Configurations:

This way, if you accidentally remove some config files, just log out and they will magically reappear.
