Wifislax
4.6, an updated build of the Slackware-based live CD with a collection
of security and forensics tools, has been released. This is mostly a
maintenance release to fix a serious bug in Reaver, a WiFi passphrase
brute-force attack utility, the use of which resulted in segmentation
fault in the previous release of Wifislax. The Linux kernel has been
updated to version 3.6.11 with a number of new drivers to support
tablets, touchscreen devices, multi-function printers, etc. The KDE
desktop has been upgraded to version 4.10.5 and an option to boot into a
lighter Xfce desktop remains available. Other package upgrades include
Firefox 22.0, OpenJDK 7u25 and Wireshark 1.10.0, as well as the latest
version of the Flash browser plugin. A number of new programs, such as
nano and texinfo, have been added. The
release announcement
which contains a full changelog is in Spanish only, but the
distribution itself can boot into either Spanish or English localisation
of the KDE or Xfce desktops.
