Disclaimer
Educational purpose only
SecArsenal is an independent, educational reference for information security professionals and students. It catalogs publicly available penetration-testing operating systems and tools, describes what they do, and links to their official documentation and download pages. It does not host, bundle, or distribute any of the software it describes, and it does not provide exploit code, live attack infrastructure, or step-by-step attack instructions against real systems.
Authorized use only
Every tool and operating system referenced on this site is dual-use: the same capabilities used in an authorized penetration test can cause real harm if used against systems without permission. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have explicit, documented authorization before using any of these tools or techniques against any system, network, or account you do not own. Unauthorized access to computer systems is illegal in most jurisdictions.
No warranty
Information on this site is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. Tool behavior, licensing, and download locations can change after our last verification date shown on each page — always confirm details against the official source linked from that page before acting on them.
No affiliation
SecArsenal is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the projects, distributions, or vendors it documents. Names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
