blackarch VS Metasploit

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/

Metasploit

Metasploit: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework

1-) Learn Hacking on a debian based distro like Kali Linux - I personally started with tools like nikto, camhacker... and then moved to more complex frameworks like metasploit.

I once had to give a presentation about Metasploit, and whether it was ethically correct for the creator to make it free and open-source, available to everyone. And in researching this I realized that there were a lot of parallels between the arguments for or against hacking tools being readily available and the arguments for or against gun control. I'll just list a few quickly:

Metasploit Framework (mentioned earlier)

This phase is where the pen testers practically prove that there exist potential vulnerabilities in the target system. The pen testers do the hacking using an array of technical approaches and social engineering methods to exploit the vulnerabilities. The ethical hackers commonly use Metasploit framework to automatically execute exploitation against the target systems. Moreover, they may install malwares such as rootkit to persistently maintain their foothold and further compromise the target system.
