Kali Linux 2025.3 has been released, marking a significant update for professionals in penetration testing and information security. This version introduces several noteworthy features, including Nexmon support for Raspberry Pi devices, which allows users to utilize monitor mode and wireless injection capabilities. Additionally, support for the ARMel architecture has been dropped, aligning with Debian's similar decision, allowing resources to be reallocated to more modern architectures.
The release also enhances the platform-building process through improved integration of HashiCorp's Packer and Vagrant tools, streamlining the construction of VM images and ensuring consistency across deployments. New tools have been added to the distribution, including Caido, Detect It Easy, and Gemini CLI, among others, enhancing capabilities for tasks like network scanning and vulnerability assessment.
Moreover, the Kali NetHunter team has made significant progress in updating the mobile version of Kali, now featuring wireless injection support for devices like the Samsung Galaxy S10 and updates to the UI and documentation. A new VPN IP panel plugin has also been introduced, enabling users to select specific network interfaces for monitoring VPN connections—a particularly useful feature for users managing multiple VPNs.
The release includes various bug fixes and performance improvements, largely attributed to contributors like @kimocoder. Additionally, kernel module installation with Magisk is now supported, further extending the functionality of Kali NetHunter on Android devices.
As Kali Linux continues to innovate, the community is encouraged to participate through bug reporting, code contributions, and feedback, ensuring the distribution evolves to meet the needs of its users. Future updates are expected to focus on enhancing user interface, improving terminal integration, and introducing more exciting features. Overall, Kali Linux 2025.3 reinforces its position as a vital tool for cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts alike
