New Pentesting Distribution to Compete with Kali Linux
SnoopGod is now available for your testing needs
From the ashes of Blackbuntu comes a new pentesting distribution called SnoopGod, which aims to compete with Kali Linux.
SnoopGod is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution geared for pentesting. This new distribution is designed to be fast, easy to use, and provides a full desktop environment to make the tools accessible.
This new pentesting distribution includes more than 800 pre-installed libraries and tools. You'll find tools like Aircrack-ng, BeEF, Metasploit, Bruteforce-luks, Brutespray, Cewl, Crack, ophcrack, patator, sucrack, Burpsuite, Routersploit, Websploit, Weevely, Aesfix, Ddrescue, Dislocker, and much more. You can view the entire list of libraries and tools from this SnoopGod Github page.
SnoopGod defaults to the KDE Plasma desktop, so if you're accustomed to a fairly traditional UI, you shouldn't have any problem using the desktop environment. SnoopGod also includes kernel 6.5, so hardware detection shouldn't be a problem.
According to the SnoopGod website, "SnoopGod is more than an operating system, it is a Free Open Source Community Project with the aim of promoting the culture of security in IT environment and give its contribution to make it better and safer."
You also can sign up for various newsletters such as the daily newsletter, podcasts, release updates, week in review, latest articles, and advertising updates.
SnoopGod is developed by a four-person team consisting of Nicolas C, Maria C., Leo G., and Antoine D.
