Re: Creating my own personal Linux distribution for Penetration Testing and White-Hat Hacking
For any set of packages one finds so useful that they're like their own
distribution, I think the labor would be better spent -- more useful to
the community I mean, maybe not as fun for you -- in extending /
improving documentation on using those tools, or Chip's suggestion,
which looks to me like 'debianising.' Your message indicates a
comprehensive security strategy, and a large market for that certainly
exists. But the additional work of maintaining a separate distribution
seems like a waste.

Is there some means by which you can build a super set of packages as a
package? I think there is, but I'm not sure how it works.
The idea would be to select a "Package" which would then select a large
list of packages to install and others to make sure are removed and then
move into a process of specialty configuration of those packages.
The net effect would be a "Diff" process to set-selections and then
patch all the default installed packages that are critical to the goal.
