Offensive security labs announced the second release of 2019, Kali Linux 2019.2. The new version of Kali Linux comes with numerous bug fixes, updated kernel version 4.19.28, package update and the new version of Kali Linux NetHunter.
The Kali Linux is the #1 Best Operating system for Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing Distribution based on Debian. Offensive Security developed it.
Kali NetHunter is the open source Android penetration testing platform; previously, it supported only for a limited number of devices. The new version of Kali NetHunter now supports more than 50 devices running KitKat through to Pie.
To celebrate this milestone, we have released 13 new NetHunter images for the latest Android versions of our favorite devices. These and many more can be downloaded from our NetHunter page.
The updates include a large number of tweaks and bug fixes, along with updates for tools that include seclists, msfpc, and exe2hex. The complete changelog can be found here.
