Black Arch Linux is an open-source, Arch-based Linux distribution aimed at advanced Penetration Testing and Security Auditing. Black Arch Linux contains several hundred tools targeted towards various information security tasks, such as Penetration Testing, Security Research, Computer Forensics and Reverse Engineering. Black Arch Linux is a multi platform solution, accessible and freely available to information security professionals and hobbyists.

We created this VM workload to allow for teams to focus on their project and not how to deploy the project to production.

Features

• More than 600 penetration testing tools included: After reviewing every tool that was included, we eliminated a great number of tools that either simply did not work or which duplicated other tools that provided the same or similar functionality. Details on what’s included are on the Black Arch Tools site.
• FHS compliant: Parrot OS adheres to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, allowing Linux users to easily locate binaries, support files, libraries, etc.
• Wide-ranging wireless device support: A regular sticking point with Linux distributions has been support for wireless interfaces. We have built Black Arch to support as many wireless devices as we possibly can, allowing it to run properly on a wide variety of hardware and making it compatible with numerous USB and other wireless devices.
• Custom kernel, patched for injection: As penetration testers, the development team often needs to do wireless assessments, so our kernel has the latest injection patches included.
• Access via ssh
