00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:03,600
Instructor: Okay, this is a quick little update video

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,290
that we do every time a new version of Kali Linux comes out.

3
00:00:07,290 --> 00:00:12,290
And yesterday we got the Kali 2023.1 release.

4
00:00:12,570 --> 00:00:16,410
Now you can check out everything about this new release

5
00:00:16,410 --> 00:00:18,120
on the official Kali Linux page

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,280
and if you navigate to the blog section,

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,460
you will see that on the 13th March, 2023,

8
00:00:23,460 --> 00:00:25,950
there was a blog published about the new release.

9
00:00:25,950 --> 00:00:27,180
If we click on it,

10
00:00:27,180 --> 00:00:30,480
we can read all the new things about this new release.

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,960
One cool thing is that it was their 10th anniversary,

12
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,170
so we do get some special things inside

13
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:38,720
of this new Kali Linux version.

14
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:42,180
We can read all the new things that they have added

15
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:44,190
right here in this list.

16
00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:48,480
And probably the coolest one would be the Kali Purple

17
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:51,840
which is another Kali Linux image that they have added

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,000
for defensive security.

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,410
So for the past 10 years,

20
00:00:55,410 --> 00:00:59,790
Kali Linux was mostly specialized in offensive security,

21
00:00:59,790 --> 00:01:02,250
but now they've created additional image

22
00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:05,340
that will be focused on the defensive side of security,

23
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:08,250
mainly for blue and purple teams.

24
00:01:08,250 --> 00:01:11,940
Now this is not really that important for us for the course,

25
00:01:11,940 --> 00:01:14,010
but nonetheless, it's cool thing to know.

26
00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:16,830
So if you want to try it out, feel free to try it out.

27
00:01:16,830 --> 00:01:18,060
But, for the course,

28
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:20,283
we need the original Kali Linux version.

29
00:01:21,690 --> 00:01:24,090
Now, if you want to read more things that they have changed,

30
00:01:24,090 --> 00:01:26,790
you can just click on each of these links.

31
00:01:26,790 --> 00:01:28,710
So for example, Python changes,

32
00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:31,320
and it will tell you about the Python changes

33
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:33,720
that they have added in this new release.

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,050
For example, the packaging installation is different now

35
00:01:37,050 --> 00:01:39,990
and this will be important later in the course

36
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:42,210
once we install different Python packages

37
00:01:42,210 --> 00:01:46,800
since the syntax has changed, but more about that later.

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,650
If you want to read more about the new Kali Linux version,

39
00:01:49,650 --> 00:01:51,690
feel free to navigate to this page.

40
00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:54,960
And if you want to download the newest Kali Linux version

41
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,740
you go to Get Kali and then Installer Images.

42
00:01:58,740 --> 00:02:02,250
And you want to download the 64-bit installer

43
00:02:02,250 --> 00:02:05,640
or 32 bit if your machine is 32 bit.

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,009
And for the M1 and M2 chips,

45
00:02:08,009 --> 00:02:10,110
you want to download Apple Silicone.

46
00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:12,690
But for a regular PC that is 64 bit,

47
00:02:12,690 --> 00:02:15,600
you want to go with this 64-bit installer.

48
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,030
Now if you also want to try out the Kali Purple,

49
00:02:18,030 --> 00:02:19,950
which is the new thing that they have added,

50
00:02:19,950 --> 00:02:23,610
you can navigate down and here is the Kali Purple version,

51
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:26,580
with tools for defensive security.

52
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:28,530
Nonetheless, I always recommend

53
00:02:28,530 --> 00:02:30,390
that you download the newest version available.

54
00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:32,880
So if there is a newer version available

55
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,070
other than 2023.1,

56
00:02:35,070 --> 00:02:37,170
feel free to download the newest one.

57
00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:40,470
But if for some reason you want to download

58
00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:42,090
an older version of Kali Linux,

59
00:02:42,090 --> 00:02:44,280
perhaps the one that we use in the course,

60
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,700
you can navigate to the old.Kali.org

61
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:51,990
and it'll open this page where you can click on base-images

62
00:02:51,990 --> 00:02:55,140
and you will have all the previous Kali Linux versions

63
00:02:55,140 --> 00:02:56,250
and their images.

64
00:02:56,250 --> 00:02:59,463
So feel free to download whichever one that you prefer.

65
00:03:00,690 --> 00:03:01,740
And last thing is,

66
00:03:01,740 --> 00:03:04,020
here is how the new Kali Linux looks like.

67
00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:06,437
So pretty much the only thing that has changed

68
00:03:06,437 --> 00:03:08,340
is the wallpaper.

69
00:03:08,340 --> 00:03:11,640
At least the only thing that we visually see changing

70
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:14,190
is the wallpaper from the previous version.

71
00:03:14,190 --> 00:03:16,020
But other than that, for the course,

72
00:03:16,020 --> 00:03:17,670
everything else will be the same.

73
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:19,320
All the tools are still here,

74
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,350
and nothing really of importance has changed

75
00:03:22,350 --> 00:03:24,210
regarding the course.

76
00:03:24,210 --> 00:03:26,520
Okay, let's not make this any longer

77
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,863
and let's get back straight to the course.
