BashCore


Last Update: 2026-02-25 15:14 UTC


BashCore is a Debian-based live Linux distribution designed for security professionals, networking enthusiasts and students. It is available in several editions. The original BashCore is a minimalist command-line only product based on Debian's "Oldstable" branch, while BashCoreX comes with the Xfce desktop, several privacy-oriented web browsers and other productivity tools. BashCoreZ, BashCoreT and BashCoreTX, based on Debian "Stable", are editions that range from ultra-minimal to a complete Xfce desktop. There are also BashLabOS and BashCoreGee, two general-purpose distributions for everyday use, with either Xfce or GNOME, and with various productivity applications, including GIMP, LibreOffice and several web browsers. The distribution also includes Tor and other privacy tools.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 434 (14), 6 months: 408 (29), 3 months: 269 (59), 4 weeks: 100 (179), 1 week: 396 (27)

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.
