Each command uses the same device and media but boots the PC in a different firmware mode. For example, you might see UEFI USB Drive and BIOS USB drive. You might see separate commands for the same device.

You can use this instead (where /dev/sdX is your flashdrive and file.iso is a BlackArch ISO): UNetBootIn modifies the bootloader configuration, which is bad. This ISO primarily targets offline installation, proceed with it only if you have a good reason, know what you are doing and are willing to spend time troubleshooting.įor most people, we recommend installing either the netinstall ISO to install only what you need or the slim ISO to start with a minimal set of common tools.ĭo not use UNetBootIn to write ISO files to flashdrives. WARNING Installing the full ISO is highly discouraged, you will probably encounter many errors and conflicts while trying to update or even installing it. If possible, please try to use a mirror near you to download the ISOs.

The netinstall ISO is a lightweight image for bootstrapping machines with a minimal set of packages. The slim ISO contains a functional BlackArch Linux system with a selected set of common/well-known tools and system utilities for pentesting.

The full ISO contains a complete, functional BlackArch Linux system with all the available tools in the repo at build time. You can burn these images to DVDs and flashdrives. The following list contains official BlackArch full, slim and netinstall ISO images.
