      Kali 2018.1 Released

      • Posted by Zaid Sabih
      • Date February 8, 2018

      Two days ago the newest version of Kali 2018.1 was released, as usual this brought a bunch of update, upgrades, patches and bug fixes.

      One of the major components that got updated in this release is the kernel, Kali 2018.1 now comes with kernel version 4.14.12, this brings a number of new features and enhancements to the system, the main ones are AMD secure memory encryption support (for processors that support it) and increased memory support (if you can reach the limit), with the new 4.14.12 kernel the system can address 4 PB pf physical memory!

       

      Fixing & Upgrading Kali 2017

      If you already have Kali installed you might have noticed that apt-get started giving a pgp errors, this is because the gpg key for Kali’s repo has expired, this can be easily fixed using the following command:

      wget -q -O - https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | apt-key add
      

      Now apt-get should work as usual, just do

      apt-get update

      then use it as usual and it should work perfectly.

      If you want to upgrade your current installation to the latest version of Kali then just run the following command

      apt update && apt full-upgrade

       

      PS: I am not a fan of upgrading systems like this, I usually just remove my old VM and install a fresh one.

      Ethical Hacker, Pentester & Computer Scientist

      Zaid Al-Quraishi is an ethical hacker, computer scientist, and founder of zSecurity. He studied Computer Science at University College Dublin, graduating May 2016.

      Zaid has a strong background and experience in ethical hacking, starting with video tutorials in 2009 in an ethical hacking community, iSecur1ty.org. He also worked as a penetration tester (pentester) for this company.

      In 2013 he started teaching his first course online in Arabic which received extremely positive feedback. This motivated him to create an English version of the course. The English course became the most popular and top paid course on Udemy for almost a year, which further motivated Zaid to design and teach more courses on ethical hacking.

      He now offers a number of courses on ethical hacking and more than 800,000 students on Udemy and other teaching platforms such as StackSocial, StackSkills and zSecurity.

      Zaid says: "I just love hacking and breaking the rules but don't get me wrong, I am an ethical hacker!"

        Hi Zaid

        I’m really enjoying the course “Learn Network Hacking from Scratch”, and i just wanted to ask you that in the sections “Bypassing HTTPS & Bypassing HSTS” you make a mention about a the following two links:
        a) hstshijack.cap file
        b) How to resolve issue of error page video link
        Neither of those links are in these two sections. Is it possible to send me those links because unfortunately I’m having the error issue and I’m using the defaul hstshijack file that comes with Bettercap.

        Thanks in advanced for all your support and believe me, your training and knowledge is amazing
        BR
