The popular penetration-testing distribution Kali Linux has dropped its latest quarterly snapshot: version 2025.3. This release continues the tradition of the rolling-release model used by the project, offering users and security professionals a refreshed toolkit, broader hardware support (especially wireless), and infrastructure enhancements under the hood. With this update, the distribution aims to streamline lab setups, bolster wireless hacking capabilities (particularly on Raspberry Pi devices), and integrate modern workflows including automated VMs and LLM-based tooling.
In this article, weβll walk through the key highlights of Kali Linux 2025.3, how the changes affect users (both old and new), the upgrade path, and what to keep in mind for real-world deployment.
This snapshot from the Kali team brings several categories of improvements: tooling, wireless/hardware support, architecture changes, virtualization/image workflows, UI and plugin tweaks. Below is a breakdown of the major updates.
Tooling Additions: Ten Fresh PackagesOne of the headline items is the addition of ten new security tools to the Kali repositories. These tools reflect shifts in the field, toward AI-augmented recon, advanced wireless simulation and pivoting, and updated attack surface coverage. Among the additions are:
Caido and Caido-cli β a client-server web-security auditing toolkit (graphical client + backend).
Detect It Easy (DiE) β a utility for identifying file types, a useful tool in reverse engineering workflows.
Gemini CLI β an open-source AI agent that integrates Googleβs Gemini (or similar LLM) capabilities into the terminal environment.
krbrelayx β a toolkit focused on Kerberos relaying/unconstrained delegation attacks.
ligolo-mp β a multiplayer pivoting solution for network-lateral movement.
llm-tools-nmap β allows large-language-model workflows to drive Nmap scans (automated/discovery).
mcp-kali-server β configuration tooling to connect an AI agent to Kali infrastructure.
patchleaks β a tool that detects security-fix patches and provides detailed descriptions (useful both for defenders and auditors).
vwifi-dkms β enables creation of βdummyβ Wi-Fi networks (virtual wireless interfaces) for advanced wireless testing and hacking exercises.
For users of Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka, Ubuntu team announced how to fix the issue that automatically check of updates not working in desktop, server, cloud, and container.
As you may know, Ubuntu replaced GNU Core Utilities with Rust in 25.10. Most core command line tools, such as chroot, dd, du, echo, ls, mkdir, pwd, sudo, who, and more, are now the βmemory safeβ Rust-based utilities, though for end users, they can be used just like before.
Ubuntu 25.10 switched to Rust based core-utils
This Rust rewritten coreutils so far has many issues that break things in Ubuntu 25.10. And, Ubuntu and upstream developer team keep working to fix them.
As far as I know, Grub bootloader did not (fixed now) find and load dual- or multi-boot operating systems, who command does not show who is logged in, stty command seems to return invalid or non-standard argument format that breaks interactive terminal applications.
Ubuntu by default checks and installs security updates automatically, which is useful to keep your system (especially for public server) safe.
Ubuntu by default automatically check & install security updates
However, due to bug in date command, some Ubuntu 25.10 systems may be unable to automatically check for available. Itβs announced few days ago:
Due to a now-resolved bug in the
datecommand, some Ubuntu 25.10 systems have been unable to automatically check for available software updates. Affected machines include cloud deployments, container images, Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server installs.
As mentioned in the announcement, the issue may affect users who have rust-coreutils <=0.2.2-0ubuntu2. And, it can be easily fixed by installing/updating to rust-coreutils 0.2.2-0ubuntu2.1 or later.
sudo apt install --update rust-coreutils
If you found other issues about core utils, then you may either report to this Ubuntu page or the upstream Github page.
And, this discourse thread provides the choice to revert back the old GNU based core-utils for those who need it.
BleachBit, the CCleaner alternative system cleaner app, released new 5.0.2 in last week with support for cleaning more app caches.
BleachBit is a free open-source application for Linux and Windows that can free up disk space by deleting cookies, cleaning internet history, discarding junks and removing logs.
It support cleaning thousands of applications, such as Firefox, Chrome/Chromium, Opera, and more, removing apt, bash, and system caches, shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space, and vacuuming Firefox to improve speed without removing any data.
The last major 5.0.0 version, which was released in May, added cleaning more apps support, including Librewolf and Microsoft Edge for Linux, beta and snap versions of Discard.
In the new 5.0.2 version, it now supports cleaning caches for pacman, the default package manager for Arch and Manjaro etc Linux Distributions.
For Ubuntu and other Linux have apps installed as snap packages, the release also added support removing snap packages that have been disabled. It will trigger native snap remove command running silently in background to remove all disabled snaps, though it was not working good in my case as it stuck at Sl sleeping status waiting for something.
Besides that, the new version also updated its UI. Like web browser, it now supports Ctrl+Scroll or Ctrl + +/- keyboard shortcuts to change text font size, and F11 to toggle full-screen mode.
Other changes are mostly bug-fixes and translation updates. They include:
In addition, the release uses a newly renewed digital certificate that may cause temporary security warnings from antivirus software in Windows. For more, see the official release note.
BleachBit provides official packages for Windows and Linux which are available to download via the link below:
For Linux, they are .rpm packages for Fedora, openSUSE, etc distributions, and .deb for Debian and Ubuntu based systems. And most desktop software app now support installing them.
