Kali Linux 2024.2 Tools and Fixes

Kali Linux, known for its robust cybersecurity tools, has launched version 2024.2, featuring eighteen new tools and fixes for the Y2038 bug. The distribution caters to cybersecurity professionals and ethical hackers, providing resources for penetration testing, security audits, and network research. In addition to new tools, this release introduces visual updates, including wallpapers and enhancements to the boot menu and login display.

The inclusion of eighteen new tools in Kali Linux 2024.2 expands its arsenal for cybersecurity professionals. These tools cover a range of functionalities, from network reconnaissance and web screenshot utilities to payload generation frameworks and vulnerability scanning. Moreover, Kali acknowledges the importance of addressing the Y2038 bug, ensuring that timestamps are accurately stored beyond 2038 to prevent potential system issues.

To mitigate the Y2038 bug, Kali Linux transitioned to 64-bit time_t integers, enhancing compatibility with Linux systems. However, users must perform a full upgrade to receive the updated packages and ensure a seamless transition. Desktop changes in this release include the introduction of Gnome 46 and stability improvements to the Xfce desktop environment.
