Kali Linux on bare-metal will get snapshotting performance – Assist Web Safety
The Offensive Safety crew has launched Kali Unkaputtbar, a brand new function that enables
Kali Linux put in on bare-metal to make system snapshots robotically, thus enabling customers
to roll again to a earlier system state after a botched improve.
Kali Unkaputtbar In German, “unkaputtbar” means “indestructible,”
and this new function is supposed to make life simpler for these customers preferring
bare-metal Kali installations.
“[Kali Unkaputtbar] gives VM-like snapshots to reveal metallic, however even higher because

The brand new function is straightforward to make the most of: customers have to put
in Kali Linux model 2022.1 or newer with btrfs because the file system, set up some further
instruments (snapper, snapper-gui, and grub-btrfs) to make the usage of the function simple,
and configure them.
The setup permits the system to create automated snapshots of the basis listing, and the person
to:
Manually create snapshots Listing, delete or browse the content material

Kali Unkaputtbar, File System Snapshots on Kali Linux on Btrfs
Meet Kali Unkaputtbar, a feature that brings file system snapshots in Kali Linux in Btrfs,
which has just arrived on the system.
File system snapshots can be very useful, but unfortunately, not every operating system
has the feature.
Now Offensive Security has announced Kali Unkaputtbar, a new feature for its ethical
hacking and penetration testing GNU/Linux distribution Kali Linux that implements bare
metal file system snapshots.
If you've always wanted to have file system snapshots on your Kali Linux installation,
now you can with Kali Unkaputtbar, a new feature that implements just that on all Kali Linux
2022.1 and later systems that use the Btrfs file system by default.
. Kali Unkaputtbar implements automatic snapshots
for APT installations or removals, automatic snapshots on every boot, automatic creation
of Kali Linux specific Btrfs subvolume layouts, and adds a new boot menu in the GRUB boot
loader to allow users to boot to specific snapshots in a read/write manner.
In addition, it leverages openSUSE's Btrfs snapper snapshot manager to perform snapshot
differences, supports restoring individual files, allows users to browse the contents
of snapshot files and copy files between them, and adds support for configuring additional
automatic snapshots.
, such as from your /home drive.
Offensive Security said that:
“Ever wish you could travel back in time after deleting that important customer report
or after installing a broken driver (Nvidia?)
before heading to a board meeting?
Well, you better read it, because now you can.”
Think of Kali Unkaputtbar as the snapshot feature on virtual machines, but bare metal
and fully automatic.
Existing users of Kali Linux 2022.1 and later using the Btrfs file system can get this feature
and take full advantage of it by enabling automatic snapshots following the instructions
provided by Offensive Security.
