Read blogNetHunter related news and updates for mobile pentesting devices running Kali Linux..
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kali NetHunter has been undergoing a ton of changes as of late. Now supporting over 50 devices and running on Android devices from KitKat (v4.4) to Pie (v9.0), its amazing the extra capabilities that have been introduced.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">But, we don’t want to stop there. After a ton of work, we are really excited to introduce the Kali NetHunter App Store!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">NetHunter has been actively developed for over a year now, and has undergone <strong>nothing short of a complete transformation</strong> since its last release. We’ve taken our time with v3.0, and the results are a complete overhaul of the NetHunter Android application, with a more polished interface and a fully functioning feature set.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Through the amazing NetHunter community work led by <strong>binkybear</strong>, <strong>fattire,</strong> and <strong>jmingov</strong>, we can now proudly look at NetHunter and confidently consider it to be a stable, commercial grade mobile penetration testing platform. And so, we are <strong>really</strong> excited with todays release of NetHunter 3.0 – let the games begin!</p>
<p>Kali NetHunter 1.2 Released!</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><a class="external external_icon" title="Kali NetHunter" href="https://www.kali.org/kali-linux-nethunter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kali NetHunter</a> 1.2 is fresh out, with a whole bunch of improvements, bug fixes….and yes, Android Lollipop support. This means that NetHunter now supports the Nexus6 and Nexus 9 devices too! This is awesome news to all those who have bought these new Nexus devices and have yearned to install the Kali NetHunter on them. What else is new with NetHunter? We’re excited to tell you all about it:</p> <p>Lollipop Support for Nexus 5/6/7/9/10</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">We’ve added Lollipop support for almost all devices we support, except for the OnePlus phone and the Nexus 7 2012 tablet. The OnePlus uses a Cyanogen 11 image, while the Nexus 7 2012 just isn’t powerful enough to run Lollipop, providing a horrible user experience. We’ve tested our Lollipop releases well,</p> <p><a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://www.offsec.com/kali-nethunter/nethunter-1-2-lollipop-nexus-six-and-nine/" title="ReadNetHunter 1.2 – Lollipop & Nexus 6/9">… Read more »</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the opening shots of 2015 fired, we are happy to make some announcements in the NetHunter arena! One of the things that excite us the most about Kali Linux is how our Kali projects always end up being greater than the sum of their parts. This is most evident in our <a title="Kali Linux NetHunter" href="https://www.offsec.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kali NetHunter Project</a> – the first open source Android based penetration testing platform for Nexus and <a href="https://oneplus.net/" title="OnePlus phones" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">OnePlus</a> devices. Wait, <strong>OnePlus phones</strong>? Yes! Our new NetHunter v1.1 release brings with it some great news – and so we begin.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Kali Linux <a href="https://www.offsec.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/" title="Kali Linux NetHunter Download">NetHunter</a> platform has many hidden features which we still haven’t brought to light. One of them is the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.softwarebakery.drivedroid&hl=en" title="DriveDroid" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">DriveDroid</a> application and patch set, which have been implemented in NetHunter since v1.0.2. This tool allows us to have NetHunter emulate a bootable ISO or USB, using images of our choosing. That’s right, you can use NetHunter as a boot device which holds a library of bootable ISOs and images…And so we begin:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It’s been a week since our release of the <a href="https://www.offsec.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/" title="Kali Linux NetHunter Download">Kali Linux NetHunter</a>, and the feedback is amazing. A NetHunter community has sprung up from nowhere, and the <a title="Kali Linux NetHunter Forums" href="https://forums.kali.org/forumdisplay.php?14-NetHunter-Forums" target="_blank">forums</a> and <a title="Kali NetHunter Github" href="https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/nethunter/build-scripts/kali-nethunter-project" target="_blank">github</a> pages are really active. We’re completely stoked about this community response, and are eager to see it grow. After an intense week of community testing and a slew of bugfixes (including shellshock), we thought it would be a good opportunity to release a NetHunter update. <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Please welcome NetHunter 1.0.2</strong></span>.</p>
