    How to verify I'm on 1.0.4? No updates available today (using update && upgrade)

    Yesterday, I ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and some updates ran. However, seeing that the news about 1.0.4 were released today, I tried running the same update commands and now I don't have any updates available.

    I have a feeling I'm not on the latest version, but I'm not sure how to verify. Can someone help clarify?

  2. Hi there are several commands that you may use to find details about your install:

    "lsb_release -a" should do the trick, also, "uname -a" will work as well. I believe there are a few other ways.

    Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the new version a few hours ago and issued those two commands. I don't think this was changed with the new update though.

    Thanks for the info.
    I installed 1.0.0 lately and did the same update as altjx. lsb_release says that im still on 1.0.0. There were no errors during installation, but some packages are missing (stated in the 1.0.4 release info) e.g. Ghost Phisher, Unicornscan.
    Any idea?

    True Sziller. They are even "missing" after a clean 1.0.4 installation.
    From the blog entry I also understood that these tools would be a part of the image already.
    But, they are not.

    Nevertheless, they are in the repos for sure. Just use "apt-get update && apt-get install ghost-phisher" (or unicornscan, or etc.).

    Best,

    So I'm not the only one who misunderstood this.
    But Tirn, do you have any idea, that why lsb_release still states that I have 1.0.0? (packages all upgraded, nothing is missing)

    Covered in another thread (from a kali developer):

    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.
