In basic terms, localhost is a hostname that refers to the local computer you are working on, which is used to access your own machine through networking protocols like TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). When you type “localhost” into your browser or terminal, you are telling your system, “Hey, I want to access my own machine”.

Programming language polyglots are files that are valid programs in multiple languages, and do different things in each. While polyglots are normally nothing more than a curiosity, the Cosmopolitan Libc project has been trying to put them to a novel use: producing native, multi-platform binaries that run directly on several operating systems and architectures. There are still some rough edges with the project's approach, but it is generally possible to build C programs into a polyglot format with with minimal tweaking.

Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (expat), Fedora (chromium and golang-github-nvidia-container-toolkit), Mageia (curl, expat, mpg123, networkmanager-libreswan, openssl, php-tcpdf, qbittorrent, and x11-server, x11-server-xwayland, and tigervnc), Red Hat (kernel and libsoup), Slackware (mozilla), SUSE (firefox, kernel, python-PyPDF2, and xen), and Ubuntu (dotnet9, ghostscript, linux-aws, linux-oem-6.8, and pydantic).

In web hosting, virtual hosts allow a single server to host multiple domains. Apache, one of the most widely used web servers, provides robust virtual hosting capabilities.

On RHEL 9 and RHEL-based distributions such as Fedora, Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux, setting up and managing virtual hosts is straightforward, especially with the enable/disable options that make it easy to control which sites are active.

Over the years, there has been steady progress in adding security features to compilers and other tools to assist with hardening the Linux kernel (and, of course, other programs). In something of a tradition in the toolchains track at the Linux Plumbers Conference, Kees Cook and Qing Zhao have led a session on that progress and further plans; this year, they were joined by Justin Stitt (YouTube video).

In the past, Katoolin was a script that helped to install Kali Linux tools on your preferred Linux distribution. It allowed users to add Kali Linux repositories, install Kali tools, and remove them as needed. However, Katoolin is no longer in active development, and using it might lead to compatibility issues on modern systems.

Since Katoolin is no longer maintained, the recommended and modern way to use Kali Linux tools on your distribution is through Docker, which offers an easy and efficient method to install and run Kali Linux tools without making significant changes to your host system.

It provides an isolated environment where you can run penetration testing tools and other Kali utilities without affecting your main operating system.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of using Kali Linux tools with Docker, step by step.
