What is BlackArch Linux?

BlackArch Linux is a lightweight expansion to Arch Linux for penetration testers.

The toolset is distributed as an Arch Linux unofficial user repository so you can install BlackArchLinux on top of an existing Arch Linux installation. Packages may be installed individually or by category.

We also have a live ISO.

We currently have over 630 tools in our toolset and the repository is constantly expanding.

Download and Installation

BlackArch only takes a moment to setup.

There are three ways to go:

1. Install on an existing Arch machine.
2. Use the live ISO.
3. The live ISO comes with an installer (blackarch-install). You can use the installer to install BlackArch to your hard disk.
