New Tools in Kali
Here is a list of the newly added tools to the list (network repositories):
These tools provide alot of protection and mangement when it comes to protecting your system. It even has Ghidra.
Ghidra is a NSA reverse engineering software designed to reverse source code for uncovering how given programs or malware works.
It’s all about branding eh? I dont care about the wallpapers. I care about hacking to make sure everything I find is with non malious intent and can be fixed. The wallpapers brand the company (operating system) more. It does not matter what wallpaper you have. I want to know what skillset you have. See the difference.
My personal opinion. I give credit for the deliberation and effort of putting time into defensive security. More businesses and organisations need to take into consideration that anything can be hacked. With the talent and the right mind for the intent, anything can be a target.
