blackarch VS LOIC

Hi, BA repository content is mainly maintained by noptrix and me (noraj) nowadays (also other persons in the past). You can check the contributor graph. Anunna made only 3 commits and is more about community management on reddit and matrix than a package maintainer so don't fear backdoors lol

Kali Linux is fantastic but there are alternatives like Black-Arch

https://www.blackarch.org/ is the official BlackArch web site.

BlackArch - Arch GNU/Linux-based distribution for penetration testers and security researchers.

for me, arch have aur which have rich package and some package are from github. if you want to use for pentesting i think you can use blackarch, it has preinstalled tools for pentesting.

There seems to be two different existing blackarch distributions.. https://www.blackarch.org/

Good morning what tool do you use to test your infra in terms of http load ? A tool that works, I tested : - https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta but it returns 0 errors or a http_net error from Golang - LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Canon) https://github.com/NewEraCracker/LOIC but the requests do not appear in my nginx logs and I feel no slowdown - Apache Jmeter https://jmeter.apache.org/ but I can't drop my infra and I have Java socket closed errors - K6 https://k6.io/ but I can't bring down my infra with - wrk https://github.com/wg/wrk no matter what parameter I put it doesn't make enough requests per second, I put the same parameters as on a tutorial and I don't get the same result...

In the meantime you could take a look at this DoS tool, which may help but really can't suggest any tool that can be extremely easy to use for someone who doesn't know about this stuff.
