Kali Linux 2018.1 – Top 3 Features Hackers Would Like to Have
A few months back Kali Linux 2017.1 rolling was released and the popular distro came up with a set of significant updates and features which include Support for RTL8812AU Wireless Card Injection, Support for CUDA GPU Cracking, Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure Availability and much more. But after a survey, we found that there are some things lacking in this current version, something that hackers always wanted and some problems that the users can’t find answers of.
Below are the top 3 features users want in Kali Linux 2018
Better Driver Support
There is a smaller selection of peripheral hardware drivers (for printers, scanners, and other devices) in Kali Linux as compared to Windows. Even though many new Linux hardware drivers are constantly being added, support for older devices has stopped.

IOT Hacking Tools
Kali linux is full of tools that are focused on exploiting web applications, wired and wireless networks. But Kali Linux 2017 is definitely missing some tools for hardware penetration testing. IoT is one of the world’s fastest growing technology. As IoT grows, the attack surface also grows and all the vulnerabilities present in the digital world will flow into our real world.
Currently Kali linux have tools that can intercept WiFi attack and some Bluetooth attacks. But these are not the only way devices communicate. Devices communicate to each other obeys protocols. Like for serial wired communication, it may use I2C, SPI, JTAG etc and for wireless RF communications like Bluetooth, Zigbee etc.
Recently an OS was released name Attify OS that had the tools that could help in intercepting data in various communication methods, dumping memory, performing DOS etc. Several IOT pen-testing frameworks like ‘HEATHEN’ has also been released. But people are getting frustrated installing these software one by one correcting dependency issues. So it would be nice if Kali 2018 could include hardware hacking tools.
Kali Linux Header Issue

Installing Kali linux Kernel Header is a matter of luck. While most of the people get it on the first try, some people even after following the right steps, it always ends up with “Unable to locate packages “. These users have to find a way to install manually, which is also difficult for new people who are not familier with Linux. I have I have noticed that Kali Linux doesn’t ship with the newest kernel and development tools, whereas OS like Parrot Security ships with a newer version of kernel.
The last thing i heard about kali linux 2018 was a week ago. Heard that they have begun the development and so much new features will be added in kali 2018 version.
Highly descriptive blog, I enjoyed that a lot. Will there
be a part 2?
sure.. there will be regular updates on kali linux distros, hacking tools and hacking news
After updating the homunculus update”, the sport always
fails to connect to network.
Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the
same page layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
I was recommended this web site by means of my cousin. I am no longer sure whether or not this
submit is written by way of him as no one else recognise
such distinct approximately my difficulty. You’re wonderful!
Thanks!
When I initially commented I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new
comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I
get four emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is a way
you are able to remove me from that service?
Thanks a lot!
Hi there to all, how is all, I think every one is getting
more from this website, and your views are nice for new people.
Hey there, You’ve performed a fantastic job. I’ll definitely diigg
itt and in my opinion recommend to my friends. I amm sure they’ll
be benefited from this site.
Almost all of the things you point out happens to be supprisingly legitimate and it makes me ponder the reason why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. This particular article really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this specific subject matter goes. But at this time there is actually one particular issue I am not too comfy with and while I make an effort to reconcile that with the actual central theme of the point, allow me observe what all the rest of the subscribers have to point out.Well done.
