HydraPWK GNU/Linux - New Linux Distro For Penetration Testing

 

HydraPWK GNU/Linux is a Debian-based distribution designed primarily for penetration testing. It contains a large collection of penetration testing tools, including tools for information gathering, scanning, stress testing, exploitation, cracking, reversing engineering and forensics. Formerly known as BlackTrack, the distribution uses a real-time Linux kernel and features the Xfce desktop.

HydraPWK Post HydraPWK released new version of HydraPWK (yellowdog 2025.02.250817233) like we said in previous announcement here we will migrate from “Debian Trixie base” into “Debian Forky/sid” and we’ve been announcement in our community group (reddit, telegram and mastodon) we just freeze HydraPWK version 2025.01.6.5.* so we can focus on “Debian Forky/sid base” maybe you confused about our release “semi-rolling”.

What’s actually “semi-rolling” means(in HydraPWK)? Actually it’s very, very different from “rolling” release, if we release new version HydraPWK with same “branch or same base” we can still handle that’s, but if release with new branch (base) so we will cut-off or Freeze (previous release which used older base) but don’t worry we will still give you update like fixed bug for 1-2 weeks? We can’t make sure that’s and If we feel the new base is “sufficient”, we will migrate completely to the new base.
