======================================================================

Offensive Security, the organization behind Kali Linux, has released its 
first 2023 edition of the open-source Linux distro , which comes ready for 
ethical hacking. 

Version 2023.1 marks Kalis tenth anniversary and introduces a plethora of new 
features and updates, including one designed for defensive security, called 
Kali Purple. 

While the OS is available to download, Kali is keen to stress that Kali 
Purple is in preview, and that it needs time to mature. Kali Purple 

The announcement reads: Over the years, we have perfected what we have 
specialized in, offensive security. We are now starting to branch into a new 
area, defensive security! 

Kali Linux claims to have made offensive security accessible to everyone 
without the need for expensive licenses, infrastructure, and coding 
knowledge, and with Kali Purple it hopes to do the same but this time for 
defensive security. 

As well as introducing tools like Arkime, CyberChef, GVM, Suricata, and Zeek, 
a dedicated community wiki page has been set up and it is hoped that a 
community will grow on the Discord channels . Read more

Updates have also been carried out to Python in Kali Linux owing to the 
updates seen in Debian, the distro on which it is based. 

Now forming part of a wider trend that has been happening since 2021, 2023.1 
features a refreshed look as will be the case with all xxxx.1 releases in a 
years first quarter. It includes new wallpapers, boot displays, and themes, 
which it hoped to make distinguishing different versions easier. 

There are some known issues, though, and Nvidia users may not want to upgrade 
just yet. The 525 series of Nvidia drivers is known to break with some GPU 
models, Kali explains. 

This is not an exclusive issue and seems to be affecting basically all the 
Linux distributions that started to distribute those drivers including 
Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch Linux. Heres our list of the best Linux laptops
