Besides that, Backbox comes with a decent amount of auditing tools, all you ever need really, except for Commix. But it's little trouble to download the things that are missing.
To be honest i am not exactly a Linux Guru, so i never had the pleasure of doing a LFS, but i probably should at some point. Just for the learning experience. Run it in VM.
*these are codes not sure how work, need ask sophie*
I am brocolli, chololite, call me reeses can't catch me without the pieces.
My bad, I don't know what the hell a backbox is, but I remember this red thing released in 2006, that was like the coolest man.
And I guess now there are a hundred "hacker os's" but all in all Kali is debian with whistles, backtrack is knoppix, and those are just gnu/linux/stuff. This is like the difference between DebKit and DebianKit. Too many similar names.
I don't understand the mindset, pull up on some LFS, or Gentoo and learn about how the Linux system works. Linus Torvalds wrote it as a hobby, and it is an interesting project thus far. IT is interesting the history of changes like init, systemd, etc and how a system works.
Arch allows this, and offers great documentation, but LFS allows you a more in depth knowledge.
