Offensive Security has announced on January 21, 2016, that their popular penetration testing operating system, Kali Linux, is getting a rolling release edition, at the request of numerous users.
Kali Linux 2016.1 is the first version of the Kali Linux Rolling Edition<\/p>\n

\"Kali<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Kali Linux is one of the most used and powerful penetration operating system on the world
with this new update, you finally can get new updated packages fast without having to wait ages
it brings you the latest and greatest penetration testing tools, as well as a fresh base synchronized with the upstream software repositories of the stable Debian GNU\/Linux 9.0
Every time a new tool is updated, it\u2019s tracked, packaged, tested and released within 24-48 hours by the Kali dev team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new rolling system has been tested over a period of 5 months and it appears to be stable
To get a better understanding of the changes that this brings to Kali, a clearer picture of how rolling releases work is needed. Rather than Kali basing itself off standard Debian releases (such as Debian 7, 8, 9) and going through the cyclic phases of \u201cnew, mainstream, outdated\u201d, the Kali rolling release feeds continuously from Debian testing, ensuring a constant flow of the latest package versions.<\/p>\n
