Last week we received an email from a fellow penetration tester, requesting official Kali Linux Docker images that he could use for his work. We bootstrapped a minimal Kali Linux 1.1.0a base and registered it under our Kali Linux Docker account. A few minutes later, said fellow pentester was up and running with Metasploit and the Top 10 Kali Linux tools on his Macbook Pro.

Pixiewps, Reaver & Aircrack-ng Wireless Penetration Testing Tool Updates
A short while ago, we packaged and pushed out a few important wireless penetration testing tool updates for reaver, aircrack-ng and pixiewps into Kali’s repository. These new additions and updates are fairly significant, and may even change your wireless attack workflows. Pixiewps is a tool used for offline brute forcing of WPS pins….
OpenVAS 8.0 Vulnerability Scanning
Vulnerability scanning is a crucial phase of a penetration test, and having an updated vulnerability scanner in your security toolkit can often make a real difference by helping you discover overlooked vulnerable items. For this reason, we’ve manually packaged the latest and newly released OpenVAS 8.0 tool and libraries for Kali Linux. Although nothing major has changed in this release in terms of running the vulnerability scanner, we wanted to give a quick overview on how to get it up and running.
Kali Linux 1.1.0 Released

As we look at a now mature Kali, we see a versatile, flexible Linux distribution, rich with useful security and penetration testing…

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen a bunch of nasty bugs hit the scene, from shellshock to Debian apt vulnerabilities. As we prefer not to ship vulnerable ISOs, we’ve rolled up new images for our Kali Linux and NetHunter releases as well our Amazon AWS images with the relevant security fixes in place. These images correspond to Kali 1.0.9a and NetHunter 1.0.2 versions, now available for download through our mirrors.

With this release come a few more updates worth mentioning. We are pleased to announce that we have updated our Raspberry Pi ….
