New Linux Penetration Testing Platform:Cyborg Hawk



The distro is based on Ubuntu and designed to be a penetration testing platform:
The download size is 3.1GB in total and is currently only available as a 64 bit OS.
The website claims some of the following features:
  • More than 750+ penetration testing tools included.
  • Cyborg Hawk is totally Free and always will be.
  • Can be used as live OS with full capability.
  • Exploitation Toolkit,Stress Testing,Reverse Engineering,Forensics,Mobile Security,Wireless Security.
  • Full virtual machine support. (version v1.1 ).
  • Now comes with its own repository.
  • Reliable and stable.
  • Various Wireless devices support.
  • Well sorted menu,everything is in just the right place.
  • Patched kernal from injection.


When testing the OS it felt a lot more laggy in comparison to Kali and as a result and therefore on first impressions I feel it is not yet ready to overtake Kali in terms of being the number one pen testers OS of choice.
We will further research tool and bring you more reviews at a later date.
You can download the OS and try it for yourself here
