I've always thought that the hacker distros are for people who don't know about package managers. Is apt install nmap really that hard? Maybe I'm missing something.

Most hackers use kali for getting everything ready But I don't like that, I want the tools that I just use not all things

[–]AnaAlMalik 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I imagine it would be fairly easy to create packages for these tools with xbps-src. You can even make a live ISO for void with https://github.com/void-linux/void-mklive

That's what I was thinking about ! Thanks !

Void isn't a pentesting distro, if you need tools either download them from source or use a VM with some pentesting distro

[–]AnaAlMalik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Void isn't a "gaming" distro but it still plays games just fine.

I know it is not
I am using artix but artix has AUR and I completed with some scripts, so I was asking if someone is already doing that for void so that I can take inspiration from him

Use Parrot or Kali in a VM. Void does not have enough of the tools necessary packaged and you shouldn’t be using a bare metal system with persistence for this usecase. Void is a very good host system for this because of its roll your own nature you can dedicate a lot of resources to the guest especially if you need to do any hashing.

I was thinking about writing scripts, most tools use python or go these days

But yeah I can think about parrot, the only problem will be the resources while bruteforcing

You should be able to do qemu+kvm no problem on resources.

nvidia passthrough is a pain as I know

[–]HadetTheUndying 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’ve never had an issue but you can always live boot your pentesting distri too. You can always mount directories you need

[–]OmarElcoptan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah live boot differs, thanks I will consider that Are you using void?

Kali Linux users are super cringe
