If you would like to go for other options check out the guide or let know know down in the comments. In my case, i am using Manjaro i3 distro as my daily driver, so i will be install Black Arch on top of my existing Arch Distro. Install Black Arch on top of your existing Arch Linux distro i.e : Manjaro
Install Black Arch as you Primary OS / in Vm ( Download the ISO image from here ) The guide contains a bunch of details on installing Black arch. I wouldnt call it the most stable release, but if your some one that is familiar with linux, this is something that you would like. Black arch makes that much simpler in a lot of cases. Now before getting started i would like to say that the popular Distributions such as Kali linux, Parrot Security OS, Black box are still an obvious choice for someone that is getting started in Pentesting.īlack Arch is yet another distro based on Arch linux, and people like me who has been using Arch as a primary operating system always have to either install tools manually from AUR (Arch User Repository), Install a Pentesting Distro like kail in a VM or build tools from source. I decided to review and make a guide based on black arch linux.
Although there are a lot of Pentesting operating systems available Black arch seems to be a really good arch based distribution and it contains a ton of tools the one could make use of.
