I like Black Arch but I don’t see the point in over 2000 preinstalled tools, whereas you can have a much lighter Kali box.Īgain the same argument mentioned previously, you are able to install them all or not. Regarding the number of tools and space, they are in the repo, you can install them or not, we didn’t force you to install anything, that affirmation comes here just because you never understand how repositories work, just imagine if someone installs all the Debian or Ubuntu packages and comes here with the same nonsense argument. Packages are updated daily in automated jobs mostly. It’s a nonsense argument, BlackArch is well-known for being more up to date than Kali and Parrot (we were the first rolling distribution for hacking) so that it’s “outdated” is a lie. NOT BLACKARCH blackarch has loads of useless tools that are outdated and takes up lots of space and time If you feel afraid of command line and CLI installation, you can use the Slim ISO which contains a very neat desktop environment and only the top hacking tools that you’re mostly going to use. That’s a totally false argument, BlackArch is a ready-to-go system. It’s definitely not a ready to go system. It will probably take you some time to install and configure it if you haven’t had a contact with Arch Linux before. I feel in the need to clarify some things:īlackArch as name says is based on Arch Linux which is not very beginner friendly OS.

#Parrot os how to#
Linux is linux if you know how to compile tools and kernels on your own then you can convert any Linux into your hacking works Based On Difficulty / User Friendliness For more advanced users you should follow below. So I recommend Kali Linux for both beginners and intermediate users. But they will confuse you and you will be just jailed/controlled via a set of tools. Parrot is bloated but beginners love more tools I know. As you will find how to add more tools and other nice tools and make the OS on your own. Kali Linux has the minimum tool based which I think is better for beginners.
I don’t recommend ParrotOS (bloated copycat project :D). If you are a beginner then go for debianbased distro. Hacking is actually not based on hacking distro or tools.
