Today, in HydraPWK Post HydraPWK released new version of HydraPWK (yellowdog 2025.02.250817233) like we said in previous announcement here
we will migrate from “Debian Trixie base” into “Debian Forky/sid” and we’ve been announcement in our community group (reddit, telegram and mastodon)
we just freeze HydraPWK version 2025.01.6.5.* so we can focus on “Debian Forky/sid base” maybe you confused about our release “semi-rolling”.
What’s actually “semi-rolling” means(in HydraPWK)? Actually it’s very, very different from “rolling” release, if we release new version HydraPWK with same
“branch or same base” we can still handle that’s, but if release with new branch (base) so we will cut-off or Freeze (previous release which used older base) but
don’t worry we will still give you update like fixed bug for 1-2 weeks? We can’t make sure that’s and If we feel the new base is “sufficient”,
we will migrate completely to the new base.
What’s new?
- 01-Reconnaise
- 02-Resource development
- 03-Initial Access
- 04-Execution
- 05-Persistence

Kernel Update
So we have update HydraPWK kernel to latest stable Linux kernel 6.16 and Enabling “can-j1939” modules
As you know in our HydraPWK version 2025.01.6.5.* we combine packages hydrapwk-default-tools inside hydrapwk-defaults as dependencies.
and we relize it’s not a good things, so we decide to remove hydrapwk-default-tools from hydrapwk-defaults (as dependencies), and not including in ISO/IMAGE
that’s because as you know, if you delete, just one tools, your environment will broke, were very sorry about thats.
don’t worry you’re free now to remove tools.
Upgrading
So like we said before, this release we’re using Debian Forky/sid as base, so you need to download beta iso for updating
, but don’t worry if you doesn’t want to update to ‘This release (beta) with codename yellowdog’ you can still using stable base, but ofc it’s will got freeze, but don’t worry we will maintenance the repo for stable base for maybe 1 week
