Fortunately, Linux is world wide & open source, so such developments don't go unnoticed.

The Aeris hack toolkit for Linux & FreeBSD is a bit behind the times, and only effective on the following distributions, which are several versions old:


  • Debian Linux 7 (i386)
  • Debian Linux 7 (amd64)
  • Debian Linux 7 (ARM)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (i386)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (amd64)
  • Solaris 11 (i386)
  • Solaris 11 (SPARC)
  • FreeBSD 8 (i386)
  • FreeBSD 8 (amd64)
  • CentOS 5.3 (i386)
  • CentOS 5.7 (i386)
As always, operating systems need to stay current and updated. Several Linux distributions are "rolling releases", meaning they are on a continuous path for updated software; no need to burn an .ISO to create an installation disc, and do a clean install.
Some rolling releases:
Arch-Linux
Anteros
openSUSE Tumbleweed
Manjaro
Debian testing
Fedora 26
Linux Mint
Ubuntu 16.10
KaOS
openSUSE Leap
Solus
PCLinuxOS
