# 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.

## Packages List

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

The **In repo** column marks whether the SlackBuild source lives here. Packages
maintained by danix that already ship on SlackBuilds.org are kept in the
[sbo-slackbuilds](https://github.com/danixland/sbo-slackbuilds) repo, not
duplicated here; they are still listed below because they are relevant to the
suite. Third-party SBo packages (hashcat, john) are listed for the same reason.

> [!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.

## Building an SBo archive on demand

`.extras/mksboarchive <package>` builds the same `<package>.tar.gz` SBo
submission tarball the post-commit hook produces, but on demand by name
rather than at commit time:

```bash
.extras/mksboarchive netexec                        # writes ./netexec.tar.gz
OUTPUT=/tmp .extras/mksboarchive webshells          # writes /tmp/webshells.tar.gz
```

Run it from the repo root: it looks for a `<package>/<package>.SlackBuild`
below the current directory, removes any `sbodl` source symlinks from the
package directory first (so they never leak into the tarball), then archives
the directory. The output directory defaults to the current working directory
and can be overridden with the `OUTPUT` environment variable. This means it
works the same whether you run `.extras/mksboarchive` or an installed copy
(e.g. in `~/bin`), as long as you are in the repo root.
