🐉 Kali Linux 2025.3 Release — Vagrant, Nexmon & NetHunter Love 🚀
Kali 2025.3 just dropped with a tidy set of quality-of-life updates and some neat platform improvements. The team refreshed how they build Vagrant images (moving the VM workflow away from Packer towards a cleaner build pipeline), making virtual images easier to manage for labs and CI. 🧩🖥️
A big win for wireless researchers: Nexmon support returns (Broadcom/Cypress chips), bringing monitor mode and injection support back to devices including Raspberry Pi models (now supporting Pi 5). That means more accessible packet capture and radio experiments on compact SBCs. 📡🐧
Kali is also trimming legacy support — dropping ARMel — and polishing desktop niceties like a configurable Xfce VPN-IP panel so multi-VPN users can choose which interface to show. 🌐🔧
New tools (10) were added to the repos — highlights include Caido, Detect It Easy (DiE), krbrelayx, ligolo-mp, llm-tools-nmap, and patchleaks — plus many package updates. Expect easier reverse/forensics workflows, Kerberos tooling, AI-cli helpers, and utilities to speed up patch validation. 🧰✨
Kali NetHunter also got attention: a Nexmon-enabled Samsung Galaxy S10 image (budget-friendly internal monitor + injection), CARsenal (car-hacking toolkit) updates and refactors, Magisk module support for kernel modules (experimental), and a raft of bug fixes/UI work for mobile tooling. 📱⚙️
ARM builds were refined (recommend arm64 Raspberry Pi images, Pi 5 support, kernel update fixes) and there are the usual documentation updates, community wallpapers, and repository tweaks. If you run Kali in lab or mobile setups, this release is worth testing. 🔁📚
