Knoppix STD

http://www.knoppix-std.org/


From the site

"Knoppix-STD is a customized distribution of the Knoppix Live Linux CD. Boot to the CD and you have Knoppix-STD. That would include Linux kernel 2.4.20, KDE 3.1, incredible hardware detection and hundreds of applications. Boot without the CD and you return to your original operating system. Aside from borrowing power, peripherals and some RAM, Knoppix-STD doesn't touch the host computer.

STD focuses on information security and network management tools. It is meant to be used by both the novice looking to learn more about information security and the security professional looking for another swiss army knife for their tool kit.

The tools are divided into the following categories (see the STD Tools section for details):

authentication

encryption utilities

firewalls

penetration tools

vulnerability assessment

forensic tools

honeypots

intrusion detection

packet sniffers and assemblers

network utilities

wireless tools

password auditing (crackers)

servers"

Perfect for anyone not familiar with linux but would like to try it out while testing out their wireless network. Note that not all wireless cards will work with this

enjoy

Thanks

Sent it off to our security guy, he maybe interested

I just tried Mandrake Move, a Knoppix "rip-off". Booted to the CD, it configured itself, and I proceeded to write a letter in Open Office and print it out. Pretty cool. I can't help wondering how well this works on a PC with less RAM and/or a slower CD-ROM.

If nothing else, a great way to try Linux.

Wow, that sounds cool.

A Rather unfortunate name for it though, "STD."

I have been trying to use this for a couple days now, does anyone have a guide for the tools?

I saw this a bit ago. I haven't downloaded it yet. One I did download, but haven't tested is P.H.L.A.K. (http://www.phlak.org/modules/news/). Perhaps this could be of interest to someone.

thanks. I'll try it out.
I have knoppix version 3.3 11-22-03, which works fine. I'll try this one.
tonight is my last night on a T1...I'm moving home from college and back to a 56k, so I figured I'd dl it tonight, rather than wait! lol
