Kali Linux 2022.4 Now Available on Azure Marketplace

Popular penetration testing tool, Kali Linux has received a new version i.e 2022.4. So users can either download and install or update their system with the latest version.

Meanwhile, Microsoft Azure uses kali-cloud build scripts to automate publishing to the Microsoft Azure store.

The latest version of Kali Linux brings a QEMU image with a pre-generated image to ease the process for self-hosted Proxmox Virtual Environments (VE), virt-manager, or libvirt users. 

Additionally, the Kali team announced the support of the Pine64 PinePhone and PinePhone Pro allowing users to dual-boot operating systems alongside their primary operating system.
