Built on Arch Linux, it delivers a lightweight and high-performance base, while its rolling release model guarantees immediate access to the newest packages.

This software is not particularly beginner-friendly, which is understandable given that it is based on Arch Linux. It has a steep learning curve and assumes that users already possess a solid grasp of Linux and command-line operations. While it is not entirely different from other distributions like ParrotOS or KaliLinux, it does demand considerable time and effort for initial configuration and setup tailored to your needs.

As a pentester I feel most comfortable with BlackArch OS. It includes all of the tools that I need for penetration testing. I have tried many more Linux-based OS but BlackArch is really stable and fast to do all my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I don't like about it. Only one thing is that it includes so many tools which makes it a little bit confusing to use otherwise there is no issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have more people interested in this platform. People need to hear more about it. People are so distracted by so many things that they are completely attached to. Really we need to share more this platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What exactly I dislike is when people are completely lost. They already are kipt noticing that. All things in this world are completely interested.

We need share good things to good people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BlackArc is linux based operating system. it is design specially for penetration testing. so it has all the essential tools for penetration testing. so if we use BlackArc we don't need to use multiple system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It file size is too big so when we use it on virtual machine, it takes lots of computer resource to run. also it has multiple tool with same functionality. that is one of the main reason for the huge file size. if they avoid those kind of tool which has duplicate functionality, it will increase the performance of the system.
