Kali Linux updates include:
▪New virtual machine image for Hyper-V. This is a Hyper-V GEN2 image with enhanced session mode pre-configured with xRDP over Hvsocket. Users can download the image and run the install-vm.bat script to install Kali on Hyper-V;
▪Xfce audio stack instead of Pipewire. This should improve the sound quality for users;
▪i3 desktop update. Previously, i3 was available in the "kali-desktop-i3" metapackage along with "i3-gaps" in the "kali-desktop-i3-gaps" metapackage. Now the two metapackages have been merged into one - "kali-desktop-i3", which will provide full support for i3. The new desktop will get a new type of lock screen, an on/off menu, floating windows and some animations;
▪GNOME 44. New version of GNOME offers improved Quick Settings panel, quick disconnect or connection to a Bluetooth device, updated settings app, GNOME file picker with thumbnails, Kali theme update;
▪new menus and icons. The developers have improved the design of the system by updating the appearance of the menu and introducing many new icons;
▪new tools. The Xfce file manager has introduced a feature with a new extension called GtkHash. Now users will be able to calculate hashes directly in file properties. A separate tab called "Checksums" makes it optional to use the terminal to calculate hashes;
▪Tiling Assistant distribution, which improved the multi-window capabilities. It provides convenient window snapping, multi-monitor support, customizable keyboard shortcuts, and personalized settings.
The release of Kali includes a set of new tools:
▪Cilium-cli - Kubernetes installation, management and troubleshooting tool;
▪Cosign — container signing tool;
▪Eksctl is the official Amazon Elastic Kubernetes command line interface;
▪Evilginx — MITM framework used for phishing attacks;
▪GoPhish — phishing toolkit;
▪Humble — HTTP header analyzer;
▪Slim (toolkit) — container image shrinker instead of changing it;
▪Syft - software billing tool from container and file system images;
▪Terraform - improvement, change and creation of infrastructure;
▪Tetragon - eBPF (Berkeley Advanced Packet Filter) based security and runtime enforcement;
▪TheHive is a free and open source security incident response platform;
▪Trivy - a tool for finding vulnerabilities, secrets, misconfigurations, SBOM in a container, Kubernetes, repositories, clouds, etc.;
▪Wsgidav - WSGI based on a versatile and scalable WebDAV server (Web Server Gateway Interface).
▪Some old Kali tools have also been updated.
New users can download the distribution from the official site. Those with Kali Linux installed can perform a quick upgrade with the following list of commands:
Code:
`┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~]
└─$ echo "deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free non-free-firmware" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list
[…]
┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~]
└─$ sudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgrade
[…]
┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~]
└─$ cp -vrbi /etc/skel/. ~/
[…]
┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~]
└─$ [ -f /var/run/reboot-required ] && sudo reboot -f`

2023.2 have problems with devices using NVIDIA GPUs, causing the OS to become slow, unresponsive, or completely frozen - happened to me so I had to switch to different hardware resulting to different boards. ROFL.
