@transcendentempress imo a domain-focused distro is less helpful than a good base and installing the tools you need. however, they are nice for convenience so I'll plug Fedora Security Lab edition fedoraproject.org/labs/security
@0x4d6165 Yeah, something more self-customed is what I'll tend toward, but in this context I'll only do it as a second step, since for now I'm mostly looking for something all-in-one just long enough to familiarize myself with the various tools in question.
