Assigned OpenCode (running natively on my BashCore OS) a full CTF mission using only BourneCore (my minimal illumos/OpenIndiana Unix live system) and its tools via SSH.
No GUI, no browser, just pure CLI.
BourneCore handled port‑knocking, SSH, RCE, privesc and full flag capture. All from a tiny VM (2 cores, 2GB RAM).
Two different OS working together as one solid cross‑platform lab.

The new #BashCore CLI build is ready! ✨
Integrated OpenCode AI directly into the terminal. Tested it by letting the agent autonomously run #nmap and #Metasploit modules to pentest my custom hardware VPN gateway. It delivered a full security audit in seconds using minimal tokens.
Looking back to a few years ago when I was just moving my first steps in cybersecurity and custom distros, seeing this architecture work feels amazing 🫠
Uploading to the site soon!

I honestly never expected this 😳
BashCore is now in the Top 50 most popular distributions on DistroWatch this week.
What started as a small Debian-based learning project has grown into a family of 7 distributions used and explored by people around the world.
Thank you to everyone who gave BashCore a chance. I hope it has helped someone learn, build, experiment, or simply have fun 🤟🏻

7 distributions. 2 Debian releases. 2 kernel branches. Hundreds of packages. Countless cups of coffee. ☕️
BashCore 2606 is now available.
All editions have been updated to the latest Debian #Bookworm and #Trixie packages and Linux kernels 6.1 / 6.12.
Every release carries the name of a legendary bass player. 🎸🤟🏻

Taking advantage of the long weekend in Italy (holiday today 🇮🇹) to update all 7 #BashCore distributions.
What a massive job!
The good news? It's raining, so at least I'm not melting in the heat while waiting for builds, updates, and tests to finish. 🥶🥵
Back to the terminal! 💻☕️

Launching my BashCoreGee OS live (bashcore.org) through my custom Raspberry Pi gateway, I think I’ve found the perfect privacy combo.
Tested all four vanilla browsers on Gee: LibreWolf and Mullvad block 97% of domains out of the box, Firefox 77%. Tor Browser hits 20% (different story).

Tried the original BashCore today, booting the RT kernel inside QEMU.
Used this command:qemu-system-x86_64 \
-m 16G \
-cpu host \
-smp 8 \
-enable-kvm \
-drive file=BashCore2602-Maruta.iso,media=cdrom,readonly=on \
-net nic,model=virtio-net-pci \
-net user \
-vga virtio \
-display gtk,gl=onIt boots and idles at <250 MB RAM. Impressive.

A user contacted me saying #BashCore ISOs were downloading at near 0 MB/s from his Brave browser.
Same connection, same network… but with wget it downloaded at full speed.
If a download feels stuck, try:
wget -c -t 0 URL
Sometimes it’s not the server, browsers, extensions or routing can get in the way.

@nickbearded i think older cheap pc platform is probably better value once prices crash and they will eventually selling the sw but also the hw you know it runs really well on is a key uniter point and then you have the total package, repeat for pihole, open source pineapple, kismet, ssl/tls proxy, squid caching proxy, web server and lamp stack, etc dedicated monitoring and analytics is another, central logging is another #bashcore modules #extensions #plugins #sbom #reproducible builds #ansible playbooks

#BashCore featured on the Turkish FLOSS portal Get GNU! 😃
They really nailed the philosophy behind the project: privacy through minimalism and "no-branding" to reduce OS fingerprinting 🤟🏻
It's amazing to see my ecosystem growing across borders ✊

OS Purity vs. Browser Reality on #BashCoreGee 🛡️
My Pi-hole test confirms: while the #BashCore OS is dead silent at idle, opening stock #Firefox immediately triggers a flood of tracking requests.
As shown in the image, Google Analytics, DoubleClick, and Tag Manager are instantly blocked by my Pi-gateway. Gee gives you LibreWolf, Tor, and Mullvad for a reason. Don't let a "stock" browser ruin your OS privacy.

Proud to see my ecosystem mentioned by TechRights! 🐧
I love that it’s being noticed by such a "partisan" and uncompromising source.
As a Free Software activist, I believe in taking a stand: it’s all about giving back to the community and defending our digital sovereignty.

Tested BashCoreGee on a privacy box (Raspberry Pi + Pi-hole + Quad9 DNS).
After 20 minutes: zero blocked domains. Only harmless Debian/AppStream traffic observed.
BashCore doesn’t track you. No telemetry, no background noise.
Don’t trust it? Test it yourself.
Cheers.

- Mullvad + LibreWolf browsers
- Transmission for downloads
- WireGuard for real privacyStill minimal. Still focused. Just even more accessiblle 💪🏻

Love how they dive into niche Linux projects and give them real visibility.
Seeing BashCore appear there, organically, feels surreal.

BashCore just got a hands-on review! 😳
Not just a write-up, they actually downloaded, booted and tested the live ISOs, with real screenshots included 🤟🏻
“Six editions, one purpose” captures the idea perfectly.
If you’re into minimal, privacy-focused Linux systems, this is worth a read 👇

From bare‑metal CLI editions to privacy desktops and RT‑ready builds, the BashCore ecosystem keeps growing.
Seeing it recognized by one of the classic Linux news hubs means the world.

All BashCore systems support two boot methods:
Ventoy for multi‑ISO setups, chainloading and quick switching.
dd for a raw, sector‑level write that produces a byte‑perfect live environment exactly as built.
Pick your workflow. The result is the same: BashCore boots everywhere 👊🏻

#BashCoreGee joins the BashCore family 😀
A new entry-level live system built on Debian with the GNOME desktop, designed for instant internet access and simplicity. It boots straight to the desktop with Firefox and Tor Browser ready to use, and you can install more apps easily via GNOME Software.
Minimal, fast, and ready to explore 😀

A live‑only Debian build with BashCore’s usual suspects: Tor, Proxychains4, OpenVPN, macchanger, tcpdump and friends. Heavy apps, light attitude 👊🏻

The BashCore Chronicles 🛠️
I’m starting a series of deep dives into #BashCore, the stealthiest Debian-based live ISO for security pros.
I’ll be featuring one tool at a time, from network auditing to digital forensics. Real tools for real enthusiasts. 🐼 No AC, just raw power.
Stay tuned if you breathe the terminal.

Next challenge at #BashLab: build an AI assistant for creating live OS with #livebuild.
I already built one for #Buildroot and one for #Pentesting.
Problem: no solid PDFs for live-build, only the official HTML docs with tons of links.
Now I need to feed the entire site into my RAG.Time to scrape, structure, and index 🤟🏻

BashLab just built a local AI assistant powered by RAG, trained on the best pentesting books. Thousands of pages indexed and ready 📚⚡
Paired with BashCore, this becomes an atomic combo 💣
Minimal OS + specialized AI = pure offensive & defensive power.

A request came in to add iperf3 3.20 to BashCore.
iperf3 is a solid, widely used tool for real network performance testing (TCP/UDP, throughput, jitter, loss...).
I started using it recently while working with Buildroot, and it fits BashCore’s minimal approach very well.
It will be available soon in upcoming BashCore releases 😉
