BlackArch 2016.04.28 is here today as a replacement for the previous ISO image, version 2016.01.10, released four months ago, and it adds more than 80 new tools that can be used for penetration testing and security auditing operations. As expected, many of the penetration testing tools included in the BlackArch Linux operating system have been updated to their latest versions at the moment of writing this article, and the distro now brags with over 1,400 of them.
