Administer Kali Linux: packages, metapackages, rolling upgrades, live USB persistence, and NetHunter.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Kali Linux: Kali Administration, Tooling, and Lab Workflow

Kali is Debian-shaped, but the places where it goes wrong are usually Kali-specific: branch
mixing, metapackage sprawl, stale images, persistence mistakes, hardware edge cases, or people
using the wrong tool family for the job.

Administer Kali Linux without flattening it into plain Debian or into a bag of offensive tools.
Start by identifying which Kali lane you are actually on - rolling install, last-snapshot,
live USB, VM image, Purple image, NetHunter, or a throwaway lab box - then separate base OS
health from tool-selection questions, branch hygiene, hardware support, and engagement scope.

**Target versions** (verified October 2026):

Only pin versions or dated anchors here when they materially affect compatibility or
troubleshooting shape. For ordinary package work, prefer the live branch and repo state over a
stale package table.

| Component | Version or date | Why it matters |
|-----------|-----------------|----------------|
| **Current dated Kali image release** | 2026.3 | current image baseline and release notes |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add iuliandita/skills/kali-linux@sha256:1605759cd35ef5fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.640b16a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
