# Sl (hack) ware

### a Slackware GNU/Linux Pentesting Suite

The aim of this project is to bring a curated collection of programs, tools, libraries and various utilities, ~~packaged~~ (some packages are way too big, sorry) and ready to be installed on Slackware.

### Why Slackware

Because it's the best distro ever.

### We have Kali and/or Parrot

Yes, but I prefer Slackware.

## Tool Catalog

The goal of this repo is to make pentesting tools available on Slackware:
package from scratch what isn't readily available, and point to a good source
for what already is. This table is the catalog. It lists every tool in scope,
whether its SlackBuild lives **In repo** here, and where else to get it.

This list is ever growing, if you want to ask for a package to be prioritized, just open an issue

Legend: ✅ yes / available / build-tested   ❎ not on SlackBuilds.org   ❔ not yet tested

Where a tool lives:

- **In repo ✅** — written/maintained here (usually because it's not on
  SlackBuilds.org, or the SBo version is stale).
- **In repo ❎** — already on SlackBuilds.org, so there's no need to duplicate
  it here; install it straight from SBo. Still cataloged because it's part of
  the suite.

> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> The exploitdb package pulls also the binsploits which consists of 1.1Gb of exploits.

> [!NOTE]
>
> There's an older `metasploit` package on slackbuilds.org (last updated in 2022) which is now orphaned. This `metasploit-framework-bin` package is a fresh `.deb` repack submitted alongside it, not a takeover of the old one.
>
> The cadaver package is available on slackbuilds.org but it's for an older version. I've reported here the script and built the newest version. The slackbuild includes now a pull from the [notroj/neon](https://github.com/notroj/neon) repository which is usually not allowed for SlackBuilds that are uploaded to slackbuilds.org
>
> The Powershell package is available on slackbuilds.org without modifications necessary so I removed it.

## Git Hooks

This repo ships maintainer git hooks under `.extras/hooks/`. After cloning,
install them with:

```bash
cp .extras/hooks/* .git/hooks/ && chmod 0755 .git/hooks/{pre,post}-commit
```

- **pre-commit** lints each changed package with `sbolint` and blocks the
  commit on errors. It also refuses staged source archives (these are fetched
  with `sbodl`, never committed). Bypass linting with `SBOLINT=no git commit`.
- **post-commit** offers to build an SBo submission tarball
  (`SBo/<package>.tar.gz`) for any added or updated package. To answer the
  prompt non-interactively, set `SBO_ARCHIVE=yes` or `SBO_ARCHIVE=no` in the
  environment.
