The main aim of BackBox is providing an alternative, highly customizable and well performing system. BackBox uses the light
window manager
Xfce
.
[5]
It delivers a fast, effective, customizable and complete experience. It also has a very helpful community behind it.
[6]
It includes some of the most used security and analysis Linux tools, aiming for a wide spread of goals, ranging from web application analysis to network analysis, from stress tests to
sniffing
, also including vulnerability assessment, computer forensic analysis and exploitation.
Part of the power of this distribution comes from its
Launchpad
repository core, constantly updated to the latest stable version of the most known and used
ethical hacking
tools. The integration and development of new tools in the distribution follows the open source community, particularly the
Debian Free Software Guidelines
criteria.
