    i run this command apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade no errors found and installed all updates but i did not seem to find the pentesting tools that was added with the latest release.
    and to verify if im on version 1.0.4 i run this command lsb_release -a and the result was




    No LSB modules are available.
    Distributor ID: Debian
    Description: Debian GNU/Linux Kali Linux 1.0
    Release: Kali Linux 1.0
    Codename: n/a

    The lsb_release information will only be updated for major versions, not minor ones.
    Not all of the new tools were added to the default iso as it helps us keep the iso smaller while still having all the core tools. You will need to apt-get the ones you want manually.

    From the kali blog post: Pass the Hash toolkit, Winexe and more
    Code:
    apt-get update
    apt-get dist-upgrade
    apt-get install passing-the-hash unicornscan winexe
    apt-get install unicornscan enum4linux polenum 
    apt-get install nfspy firmware-mod-kit wmis
    # and if you haven't already:
    apt-get install nipper-ng jsql oclgausscrack ghost-phisher uniscan 
    apt-get install lbd automater arachni bully inguma sslsplit dumpzilla 
    apt-get install owasp-mantra-ff recon-ng ridenum regripper jd-gui

    From the release of 1.0.6, release numbers will show up.
    1.0.5 and under, will still show up as 1.0

    Code:
    root@kali~$ lsb_release -a

    Question

    Is it possible to use

    • apt-get update
    • apt-get upgrade
    • apt-get dist-upgrade
    • reboot

    to "upgrade" from 1.1.0 to 1.1.0a?

    I'm current on updates and all I see when I try upgrade or dist-upgrade is:

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

    Then you're up-to-date.
    lsb_release will not show '1.1.0a' as it was a release due to the first release having a bad kernel.
