Kali Linux, the open-source, Debian-based Linux distribution designed for a range of information security tasks, has unveiled its newest version, 2023.4. This latest release introduces several key features and updates.

One significant highlight is the addition of Cloud ARM64, which means marketplaces on Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure now have an ARM64 option. This development expands the range of platforms that can utilize Kali Linux.

The Kali theme has been updated to align with the latest versions of GNOME 45, ensuring a consistent and up-to-date user experience.

In terms of infrastructure, the latest release provides a glimpse behind the scenes with mirrorbits, enabling users to see what's happening in the background of the software.

As is customary with each new version, Kali Linux 2023.4 also introduces various new and updated packages, maintaining its commitment to offering the most recent tools for information security tasks, such as penetration testing and reverse engineering.
