good pentest linux distros

Post by TheZekku »

hey i got a 32gb flash drive this xmas.
now i do alot of computer forensics for friends and test my own security via pentest dostros (backtrack,backbox etc etc)
and im wondering since i have yumi to install multiple .iso files on my flashdrive does anyone have any sugestions.
any distro is fine but prefebly one dealing with pentesting.

Can you remove those tools? If not, then there is really not that many distros that are not cluttered with unused tools lol
Although that is my opinion since im inexperienced in this topic :)

I was thinking about Backtrack or kali linux. They are the best for pentesting.
