- Kali Linux 2025.2 brings new powerful tools for experienced penetration testers
- The offensive security Realinea the Kali interface with Miter Att & CK – finally, the structure meets the piracy function
- Bloodhound’s new tools hint a deeper azure and an asset asset orientation that never before
The most recent update of Kali Linux, version 2025.2, presents more than a dozen new tools along with improvements for user experience and platform support.
The offensive security, developers behind the Debian -based distribution, announced their general availability with a clear approach to align the system with the Miter Att & CK framework.
The Kali menu is now adapted to make the discovery of tools more intuitive, but it cannot be seen yet if this structural change leads to a significant improvement of the workflow.
The new launch includes 13 additional tools, many of which are specialized for advanced offensive operations.
Tools such as Azurehound for the collection of directory data of Azure and Bloodhound-CE-Python, a pydon intake for Bloodhound CE, seem to aim at complex business environments.
Meanwhile, Binwalk3 expands firmware analysis capabilities, and BopSCRK allows personalized words creation based on smart algorithms.
Some additions, such as Crlfuzz, which is “a quick tool to scan the vulnerability of CRLF written on Go”, and the Shell-Shell code, which allows users to “generate a Shellcode independent of the position of the memory and execute it,” suggests that the version continues to attend qualified professionals.
Kali Linux 2025.2 also adds chisel-compassion and ligolo-NG-Común-Binary binaries, which offer pre-built binaries for tunnels and pivotations, common activities in the red equipment.
In terms of enumeration and lateral movement, tools such as LDEEP, described as “an utility of ldap enumeration in depth”, and Rubeo, focused on “interaction and raw kerberos abuse”, they contribute even more.
While these tools can attract ethical computer pirates, the level of specialization required to operate them effectively can act as a limiting factor for beginners.
Among the most visible quality of life is the integration of the new IP Extension of GNOME VPN, which allows the direct visualization of the IP VPN address from the panel.
Although this characteristic is convenient, it is not spectacular, and it is better that it remains a marginal addition.
This new update also supports GNOME 48 and KDE Plasma 6.3 desktop environments.
Raspberry Pi users now have a new update that combines some images of Raspberry Pi OS, eliminating the need for a separate image for Raspberry Pi 5.
This update also presents Kali Nethunter Carsenal, a dedicated suite for automotive security analysis.
While it is still one of Linux’s best distributions for ethical piracy, some users may still prefer Linux alternatives that incline safety or integrate more perfectly with network monitoring tools.
