BourneCore is a live USB built on OpenIndiana (illumos), designed as a Swiss Army knife for sysadmins working across Unix, BSD, and Solaris environments.

BashCore provides a fresh environment on every boot, making it ideal for students to practice security, networking, and system administration skills without risk. Its lightweight nature also makes it perfect for VirtualBox and other virtual machines, ensuring smooth performance even on systems with limited resources.

The ISO includes a curated selection of tools for penetration testing, network analysis, and system diagnostics. GPU-ready: NVIDIA and AMD graphics supported out of the box.

BashCore now ships with OpenCode, an agentic AI CLI tool, integrated directly into the live environment. This allows users to leverage AI-assisted workflows, from scripting and troubleshooting to autonomous task execution, right from the terminal, without breaking BashCore's no-GUI, keyboard-driven philosophy.

We are not responsible for any illegal use of the software.
