ArchStrike

ArchStrike, like BlackArch, exists primarily as an additional pacman repository that layers security and penetration-testing tools onto Arch Linux, alongside a bootable live ISO for users who want a ready-to-go environment without a manual Arch install first. Its package selection overlaps significantly with BlackArch's, and the choice between the two often comes down to which repository's specific package set or update cadence a given security researcher prefers. Both projects share Arch's rolling-release model, meaning security tools stay current with upstream releases rather than waiting for a periodic distribution refresh.
