Slingshot Overview
What is Slingshot?
Slingshot is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution with the MATE Desktop Environment built for use in the SANS penetration testing curriculum and beyond. Designed to be stable, reliable and lean, Slingshot is built with Vagrant and Ansible. It includes many standard pen testing tools, as well as the PenTesters Framework (PTF). Course-specific builds include all of the tools, files and documentation needed for class labs. The initial release of Slingshot is for the general community with course-specific builds deploying throughout 2020.
