Kali Linux Latest Build 1.0.7 Released : Available for download

Kali Linux 1.0.7 available for download

Kali Linux 1.0.7 was released today (or maybe I was sleeping all these days and came to know today). No official documentation has been released yet as to what changes have been there since the previous release. The following documentation was seen on Kali Linux official website (kali.org) when the 1.0.6 release came out. As long as any such documentation doesn't find its way to Kali website, there's little we can do. But I will do the little anyways. For those who wouldn't like to go into the technical details, here are a few links-

Also, for those with Kali installed already, a simple apt-get dist-upgrade will do the trick.

History Lesson : What was new in Kali 1.06 (you might skip this)

It’s been a while since our last minor release which makes 1.0.6 a more significant update than usual. With a new 3.12 kernel, a LUKS nuke feature, new Kali ARM build scripts, and Kali AMAZON AMI and Google Compute image generation scripts, not to mention numerous tool additions and updates – this release is really heavily laden with goodness. For more information about what’s new in this release, check the Kali changelog.

KaliARMBuildScriptsNowAvailable

This new release brings with it the introduction of the Offensive Security Trusted ARM image scripts – a set of slowly growing scripts that are able to build Kali Linux images for various ARM devices. These scripts will replace the growing number of actual ARM image releases we have in order to reduce the exponentially growing amount of traffic we serve on each release. We will release a short blog post about how to use these scripts in the next few days.

LUKSNukePatchAddedtocryptsetup

A couple of days ago, we demonstrated a cool patch for cryptsetup, which introduces a self destruction feature. The response to this post was overwhelmingly positive, as many people voted to see this feature included in Kali Linux. Therefore, we included this patch into our cryptsetup package yesterday, making the luksAddNuke options available to all Kali users by default. The patch is non-invasive and will not change anything for anyone that does not want to make use of it. No action is necessary if you currently use LUKS and don’t want to utilize the key nuke feature. The updated cryptsetup package is present in Kali 1.0.6 by default. We’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who participated in the poll for voicing their opinion. This kind of feedback is very useful for us, giving us a better feel for the type of features to add in the future. In an upcoming blog post, we will take the opportunity to better explain this new feature and show you how to test it out.

Now, a little in depth research, and I found myself something. Here is what's new in Kali 1.0.7.

That's 187 issues in total. The released 27th May indicates that it was indeed released today and I was not sleeping all these days. Once I've updated my Kali and checked everything out, I'll let you guys know my personal opinion about the new release. I'll also check if the upgrade breaks anything.
