Kali Linux 2025.1 introduces improved Nexmon support for Raspberry Pi devices, enabling onboard Wi-Fi interfaces to perform monitor mode and packet injection without external USB adapters. The update includes new DKMS-based packages that work with the 6.12 kernel and support multiple Raspberry Pi models including the Pi 5. Users can now install brcmfmac-nexmon-dkms and firmware-nexmon packages to enable wireless penetration testing capabilities directly through the built-in Broadcom Wi-Fi chipsets.
