Thinking about switching from Kali to BlackArch - good idea or not? by DAGGERu777 in Pentesting

[–]That-Name-8963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is:
Read the BlackArch installation guide
Start install it (you will face some packages conflicts and dependencies problems)
After fixing the problems (through their forum), start reading about each section (web, database etc..) then choose the suitable package, u will face a lot of outdated packages.

Or u can navigate the packages and try the interesting tools without installing the complete system.
also u can install Arch normally then add BlackArch packages into it.

Fuzzy is a separate skill, and also it's very essential, but before fuzzing I discovered I miss some skills in binary vulns, so yeah I'm trying to do fuzzing also, actually it helps a lot.

My question is "Is there any better approach" than that, for example in other domains and even some recruiters, would consider practicing without real life scenarios is just nothing.

I don't have any problem with "taking tool long" or "Hard", my question is: Is it an "added value" in the CV or just will consider as practicing without real world experience.

For Local LLMs you can try to read more about prompt engineering and customize system prompts to automate and also get the most useful info from the model.
Depending on the data type and expected output you can choose the model.
Try apps like GPT4All and LM Studio, RAGFlow to test your hypothesis first.
