Blackarch Linux - An affordable and user friendly tool for pentesting

The best part of using blackarch linux in my opinion was that it had all tools needed to perform pentesting tasks, such as nmap & metasploit framework! I did not have any problems while working with this software or its configuration files/commands when performing various attacks like web vulnerability assessment, sql injection etc., It's easy to use by anyone who has basic knowledge about computer networks and hacking techniques used during ethical hacking activities. Also it provides great…

Pros
  • Easy installation process along side simple GUI interface
  • Has almost everything we require.
  • Full package is really cheap compare do others similar offerings (like Metis)
Cons
  • Lack Of good documentation
  • More technical stuff should be included

Easy-to Use tool for performing security assessments

I like how easy it was to get up & running, both as GUI user or command line interface (CLI) only experience level users can use this product with ease! As of now there isn't anything that really annoys me about blackarch linux; however if you are looking specifically at using Kali in order create custom live CDs/USB's then kali has some issues when creating them from their iso image file(or rather lack thereof). The support team does all they need too ensure your problem gets solved quickly…

Pros
  • Very easy to use, GUI interface available (if you want), very easy to setup and customize
Cons
  • Not any issues to report, documentation could have been better, but it should be self explanatory

Great and Powerful Tool For Learning To Pen Test

The ability to use this software as a base for other tools, such as Metasploit, really allows you to create your own custom toolkit. I like that it can be used from within a VM, allowing you to easily run multiple tests in parallel without having to go through the hassle of setting up a physical lab. It's great if you have no previous experience with pen testing. The installation process can be confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it you'll be fine. Once again there are some…

Pros
  • There isn't much too dislike about blackarch..it does what was intended pretty well! Although sometimes bugs or problems need fixing by developers; most things work smoothly enough when necessary :) And their devs respond quickly which makes me very happy lol
Cons
  • Nothing
