BerserkArch

BerserkArch is a security-focused Linux distribution created by ly4k (thehackersbrain). It’s an Arch-based distro tailored for offensive security / penetration testing workloads — the distro this wiki’s dev machine runs. It bundles the offensive toolchain and is the author’s day-to-day working environment for the research captured in this wiki.

What it is

• Arch Linux-based — rolling, AUR access, the offensive tooling ecosystem.
• Security-oriented — preconfigured for pentest / red-team / RE / malware-analysis workloads (the author’s domain).
• The author’s environment — the dev box maintaining this wiki runs BerserkArch, so the tooling notes here (Impacket, Rubeus, mitm6, certipy, etc.) are exercised on it.

Why it matters to this wiki

• It’s the runtime for much of the tooling referenced here — the “where do I actually run this” answer for the author’s workflow.
• It ties the ly4k project portfolio together with the research areas (AD attacks, AD CS, shadow credentials, RE/malware).
