⁠What is BlackArch?

BlackArch Linux is an Arch Linux-based penetration testing distribution for penetration testers and security researchers. The repository contains more than 2600 tools. You can install tools individually or in groups. BlackArch Linux is compatible with existing Arch installs. For more information, see the BlackArch's website⁠.

⁠About the images

The root filesystem tarballs for the images is auto-generated weekly at 22:30 UTC on Sunday in Github infrastructure using Github actions⁠.

⁠Special note about the novnc image

You need to run the container with the --security-opt seccomp=unconfined options, otherwise, it will fail. See https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/-/issues/116⁠ and https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/issues/346⁠ for details.

⁠Availability

Root filesystem tarballs are provided by Github Actions and are only available for 1 week once the new build is triggered.

⁠Updating

BlackArch Linux is a rolling release distribution, so a full update is recommended when installing new packages. In other words, we suggest either execute RUN pacman -Syu immediately after your FROM statement or as soon as you docker run into a container.
