This distro may not be as flashy as some of the other "Pen Test" distros but it is a useful and easy to learn OS. the base install includes many of the standard tools of the trade. However, you can install and use other tools, of the trade, by doing what Linux is made for. Customization is easy and I personally have never had an issue with installing the base system in any way. Patches and updates are easy to manage and again being a DEB/Ubuntu means no mysteries or gotchas await the committed Linux user.
I am also to understand that another high profile "Pen Test" distro is a branch of BackBox.

This is basically what I call a "lazy distro". It is Xubuntu with an extra menu. Yes, that menu is well developed, but it is XFCE with Gnome Snaps.... Really?
Installation:
The installation would not go, until I realised it was UEFI install ONLY. You can install it on a non-UEFI system, but it fails to boot.
Use:
The tools are great, and let's face it, that is what you came for, but some eye candy can't hurt. What I mean by this is that some integration would have been nice. Maybe a unified theme or something?
For security distro with malware analysis, I would have expected to see something like opensnitch pre-installed, but no.
Overall:
A middle of the road distro that feels unfinished (unpolished)

A really good distro... an underrated pentesting distro of course. I see no reason for it not to become as popular as Kali and Parrot, and infact, it hits the sweet spot between minimalistic, user friendly and advance tools.
More love to this distro! Does great job!
