SnoopGod[1] (formerly known as Blackbuntu) is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu LTS[2] and designed for cybersecurity professional (offensive and forensics mostly).

Along side with KaliLinux[3], that used Xfce, and ParrotOS[4], that used Gnome, SnoopGod brings KDE Plasma to the scene for those who like customizing and eye candy Graphic User Interface (GUI).

Under the hood, this new distribution consists of a post-installation script that build a highly customized setup. By the way, there is no shame on post installations scripts for creating Linux distributions. In fact, it is very popular way of producing niche flavors.
