HOW TO Exploring Kali Linux Alternatives: Getting Started with Pentoo for Advanced Software Installations

-
Kali Linux is probably the most well-known hacking distribution among penetration testers. However, there are alternative distros which offer versatility and advanced package management systems that are absolutely worth considering.
One such distribution is Pentoo, a Gentoo-based operating system created by Grimmlin and maintained by Zero_Chaos, a seasoned developer and penetration tester, as well as Anton Bolshakov. Before we get to explaining Pentoo itself, it's necessary to talk about the underlying Gentoo OS first.

What Is Gentoo?

Gentoo is Linux distribution centered around compiling packages from source. If you've installed software in this way, you know it can be incredibly time-consuming to compile just one application.
While it might seem counter-productive for a penetration tester who needs new software in the middle of a CTF or red team engagement to compile a package fully, there are several benefits to compiling packages in this way, outlined in later parts of the article. Additionally, to simplify the compiling process, the Pentoo developers offer precompiled binaries which can be quickly installed with a single command.

What Is Pentoo?

Pentoo is an overlay for Gentoo, similar to how BlackArch imports custom tool repositories into the Arch operating system. Pentoo is Gentoo, with a curated repository of hacking software that can be compiled with a great degree of customization.
