The BlackArch 2016-08-30 ISO images are here to replace the previous ISOs, namely BlackArch 2016-08-19, and upgrade the kernel packages to the latest Linux 4.7.2 release, as well as to add various improvements to the BlackArch Linux installer, repair a bug in the strap.sh script, and update all the core components and in-house built tools. As usual, BlackArch Linux is distributed as Live DVD ISO images for both 64- and 32-bit hardware architectures, which you can deploy on any USB flash drive of 8GB or higher capacity, or a DVD disc, and boot it on any computer. The Live ISOs allow you to use BlackArch Linux without installing anything on the respective PC.
