A Linux ISO with my config and usefull built in software

For more information view this wiki page.

The main objective was for me to have an comfortable environement I can deploy fast and mostly reliably. I also was looking for a way to package all of my things in an effective way other than just a tar ball. p3ng0s is exactly what this is trying to resolve for me. I would not recommend anyone using this as it is very customised for my use and comes with a lot of forks of software that I spent years adding functionality that I personnaly wished existed wich you trying this out might not agree with. Since a lot of what I use in my environement is open source I did let myself go and added as many features in as I wanted over the years. I am still making this available since thorught the years people have been seeing what I run on my laptop I have had a lot of questions on the tools how to use them and this would be an easy way to test out an environement like mine without spending 8 years testing out alternatives.

If you do not know me and just stumbled on this I have provided a few screenshots and I am making a wiki explaining as much as possible on how this works I will also do blog posts about this while I work on it and there will be full README's on each section later down the line for now I finally managed to package all of this over the span of a week and will be adding more later. There will also be a link to the ISO farelly soon expecting (1 month max from today: 29/06/2023).

A lot of these screenshots are just things I would do on my laptop and are not really indicative on what p3ng0s can or can't do.

This is a screenshot of the desktop running bloodhound on the left and the Havoc C2 client on the right with under the c2 client in the background conky where I have a cool todo list feature to know what tasks to work on next

This is a screenshot of what a typicall reverse shell workflow would look like at the top of the desktop you can see the terminal with a shell that would in theory be running on windows. In this case for the screenshot I just used a netcat wine cmd.exe pipe to simulate the environement and at the bottom of the screenshot you can see one of my custom dmenu scripts. With this script I basically have a shortcut / rubber ducky equivalent on the go where some commands are just to much of a pain for me to remember like dissabling defender so with this fancy menu I have a shortcut to automatically type that command in and I just have to press enter :)

In this screenshot there is a display of what a typicall terminal looks like when I first launch one. I have a few banners configured to always keep me entertained during my long hours of deep intensive work and this is a great display of my amazing humour. To the right of the terminal window there is a little menu. This menu is where I launch my main favourite apps. Sometimes I am just not bothered to use shortcuts and want to click around for fun so by default if you click anywhere on the desktop this menu should appear and you can run your main apps from there. I also have usefull web shortcuts like the wifi pineapple one since sometimes it's hard to remember the IP address and the port for those things.

No matter how much linux nerds bash on windows (me included) I dod think having a little GUI desktop thing at the bottom of the screen to click around through things is kinda fun (like with xmenu) so there is a autocolapse menu bar at the bottom to navigate through open apps and launch a secret app launcher. I had it autocolapse since I like to utilise as much screen space as possible for work with as little distractions as possible. The main open window is my file browser ranger wich I don't spend enough time using.

Here is a quick list from the top of my head what I remember working on for the past 8 years:
