It’s been more than three months since the release of the previous BlackArch Linux ISO image, and the development team managed to add more than 100 new tools you can use for penetration testing and ethical hacking work. BlackArch is based on the famous, lightweight and highly customizable Arch Linux operating system, so the new ISO also contains all the security and software updates released since the May announcement of the previous ISO image.
