The BlackArch Linux 2017.06.13 ISO images are now available for download from the official website, for both 64-bit and 32-bit computers, and it looks like it adds more than 100 new tools, which ups the total number of pre-installed hacking tools to over 1,800. As you can image, the new ISO snapshot of BlackArch Linux has been rebased on the latest stable repositories of Arch Linux, which means that they’re powered by the Linux 4.11.3 kernel packages and include all the recently released software and security updates.
