| Summary | 0000736: Include Additional Tools in the kali-meta Package | ||||
| Description | Many of these should have been included by default anyway. The total cost for all of these tools is only around 80MB so it won't be a large hit at all in the size of our install. testdisk: Partition scanner and disk recovery tool cabextract: Microsoft Cabinet file unpacker openvpn-blacklist: list of blacklisted OpenVPN RSA shared keys memdump: utility to dump memory contents to standard output rdd: a forensic copy program libhivex-bin: utilities for reading and writing Windows Registry hives mc: Midnight Commander - a powerful file manager sqlitebrowser: GUI editor for SQLite databases spidermonkey-bin: standalone JavaScript/ECMAScript (ECMA-262) interpreter rake: ruby make-like utility dissy: graphical frontend for objdump mercurial: easy-to-use, scalable distributed version control system exiv2: EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation tool arpwatch: Ethernet/FDDI station activity monitor netcat6: TCP/IP swiss army knife with IPv6 support netwag: graphical frontend for netwox ngrep: grep for network traffic minicom: friendly menu driven serial communication program wvdial: intelligent Point-to-Point Protocol dialer curlftpfs: filesystem to access FTP hosts based on FUSE and cURL axel: light download accelerator - console version ifenslave: Attach and detach slave interfaces to a bonding device netsed: network packet-altering stream editor vpnc: Cisco-compatible VPN client tcpick: TCP stream sniffer and connection tracker ratproxy: passive web application security assessment tool redsocks: Redirect any TCP connection to a SOCKS or HTTPS proxy server chirp: Configuration tool for amateur radios spectools: Utilities for using the Wi-Spy USB spectrum analyzer hardware unetbootin: installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive xul-ext-dom-inspector: tool for inspecting the DOM of pages in Iceweasel and Iceape xul-ext-firebug: web development plugin for Iceweasel/Firefox xul-ext-firexpath: extension for Firebug to edit, inspect and generate XPath expressions xul-ext-livehttpheaders: Adds information about the HTTP headers to Iceweasel and Iceape xul-ext-noscript: Javascript/plugins permissions manager for Iceweasel and Iceape xul-ext-toggle-proxy: Toggle Proxy adds a status bar icon to toggle between two proxy settings xul-ext-useragentswitcher: Iceweasel/Firefox addon that allows the user to choose user agents xul-ext-webdeveloper: web developer extension for the Iceweasel/Firefox web browser i2c-tools: heterogeneous set of I2C tools for Linux rcconf: Debian Runlevel configuration tool sysv-rc-conf: SysV init runlevel configuration tool for the terminal | ||||

Think twice before including packaged extensions for Iceweasel/Firefox. Since we currently diverge from Debian's default version, not all of them might be compatible with our iceweasel. That said Debian started including newer Iceweasel in stable and it looks like we will able to get rid of that divergence. |

|
openvpn-blacklist is also of dubious use, unless you specifically want it to be able to identify vulnerable OpenVPN shared keys as part of an intrusion test. That said the original problem is very old and very few such keys are still in use. |

Thanks for the input. I'll omit the Iceweasel extensions and openvpn-blacklist for now. I haven't had any issues with the extensions so far but I'll get some more testing done before I add them. |
