Berserk Arch
Rolling-release Arch-based distro for security researchers and developers
Berserk Arch has no official, structured tool listing we can auto-sync (unlike Kali, BlackArch, REMnux, and Tails). The tools below are maintained by hand and may be incomplete or outdated — check the official docs for the current tool set.

Berserk Arch targets security researchers and developers who want a fast, current Arch base with security tooling pre-tuned in, rather than the exhaustive tool-repository approach of BlackArch.
Use it only against systems/networks you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.

Getting started
Berserk Arch is a rolling-release Arch derivative distributed as a bootable ISO, similar in mechanics to BlackArch but positioned differently: it's a general power-user/developer distro with a security-research bent (bleeding-edge packages, red-team tooling, programming stacks) rather than a dedicated security-tool repository. Its own docs are explicit that it isn't beginner-friendly — familiarity with Arch is assumed.
