From day one, TShark has been an essential part of #BashCore. It’s not just a substitute for Wireshark—it’s the same powerful engine, but fully command-line. If you’re serious about network analysis and pentesting, mastering TShark is a must.
It has nothing less than Wireshark, just no GUI. Learn it, and you’ll have full control over packet capture and analysis, even on minimal systems.
Linux Command Library – the perfect CLI reference! 
Readable with Lynx & Links browsers in #BashCore No JavaScript, pure command-line knowledge Copy & paste commands easily with GPM

Already 6 downloads of the updated BashCore on day one! Cheers! 
Big thanks to everyone who grabbed it—hope you're enjoying it!
BashCore now defaults to 9.9.9.9 (Quad9) as its DNS resolver. A secure, privacy-focused, and high-performance choice, fully aligned with BashCore's philosophy.
> In the latest version of #BashCore, we kept only the 6 standard virtual TTYs for security reasons. Fewer entry points, better control. 
Need more? Just copy-paste the line in readme.txt—smart and simple! 
Minimalism meets security. bashcore.org
Running without a GUI strips away all the bloat and lets #BashCore unleash raw speed and efficiency. It’s like driving a race car—no frills, just performance. Full system resources go to your tasks, not a graphical interface.
Ideal for power users who thrive on the command line, #BashCore is a beast for #Pentesting, #NetworkDiagnostics, and #Automation. #Linux #CLI
The updated version of BashCore is now available on SourceForge!
All tools have been updated & upgraded, known bugs have been fixed, and we've added GPM (General Purpose Mouse) support for better usability.

The web crawlers of ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini work impressively well 
They know about BashCore and describe it in great detail

Welcome to BashLab: simple and functional. A desk, a laptop, a power outlet, a Wi-Fi router, a timer to save the battery, a mouse, and a couple of USB sticks. Just what’s needed to build the future of BashCore!
After a week of testing and failures (in my limited free time), BashLab has finally created the first working copy! It's not yet complete with all BashCore tools, but it's a big step forward! Hurrah!
Introducing #BashLab: A Portable Fast Lab for BashCore! 
I just set up a lightning-fast portable lab running Debian XFCE on a USB 3.0 drive, fully optimized for BashCore development & testing. This setup lets me:
Boot anywhere with persistence 
Work faster than my old HDD Keep everything isolated & portable
Perfect for testing, experimenting, and refining BashCore without touching my main system!
Great news for BashCore users! #gpm works perfectly in TTY, allowing easy text selection and pasting using the mouse. Just install it with:
sudo apt install gpm -y && sudo systemctl enable --now gpm
Then: Select text with the left mouse button Paste it with the middle mouse button (scroll wheel) or Shift + Insert Works across different TTYs!

Less is More in Security
As Henry Ford said, "The more things in a car, the more can break." The same applies to operating systems: more software means more vulnerabilities and potential exploits.
A minimalist OS like BashCore reduces risks by limiting the attack surface. Fewer processes mean fewer entry points for attackers—efficiency, security, and control.
