We have added the latest Kali Linux 2021.3 template to our pentesting platform.

The new template can be selected via the client area on provisioning and existing customers can rebuild choosing the new version or simply upgrade their existing VPS machines.

A summary of the changes since the 2021.2 release from June are:

• OpenSSL – Wide compatibility by default – Keep reading for what that means
• New Kali-Tools site – Following the footsteps of Kali-Docs, Kali-Tools has had a complete refresh
• Better VM support in the Live image session – Copy & paste and drag & drop from your machine into a Kali VM by default
• New tools – From adversary emulation, to subdomain takeover to Wi-Fi attacks
• Kali NetHunter smartwatch – first of its kind, for TicHunter Pro
• KDE 5.21 – Plasma desktop received a version bump
