  1. Linux based, Insert-Inside Security Rescue Toolkit by jlrowe · · Score: 1 · on Stand-Alone Antivirus Software?
    Here is a Linux based CD, that can be installed on a thumb drive.
    http://www.inside-security.de/insert_en.html

    It can read/write NTFS and can run CLAM AV.

    I even installed it on a thumb drive with two partitions. Used from Windows, it is a data drive. Boot from it and it goes into Insert Linux Rescue.

    It is pretty spartan and very small so will fit on your older thumb drives that are too small for anything else.

    It seems that in your situation the best approach would be to use a liveCD to remove any remenants. One possible security focused CD is http://www.inside-security.de/insert_en.html

    Ideally, this would be burned from a computer know to be unaffected.

  6. Re:an emergency kit should contain by Shawn+is+an+Asshole · · Score: 4, Informative · on USB Drives — Recovery?

    There is an Ultimate BootCD for Windows which is based off of BartPE. I use it regularly and highly recommend it. It includes a good amount of tools and more can be added.

    I'd also recommend INSERT. It's a Linux LiveCD that includes ntfs-3g (full read/write support), gParted, the Linux-NTFS tools (ntfsclone and ntfsresize being the most useful to me), and others. It has a GUI (fluxbox is the manager).

    Recovery is Possible is also excellent and I use the PXE version heavily. My only complaint about it is that it doesn't have ntfs-3g yet. When I need that, or need to resize partitions (gParted) I use INSERT.

  7. Insert Linux by swtaarrs · · Score: 3, Informative · on 10 Best Security Live CD Distros

    The best one I've found is Insert Linux. Once you download, burn, and boot from the ISO, there's a menu option in fluxbox to install to a usb key. All you have to do is make sure the the first partition on the drive is at least 64MB and it'll do the rest for you, formatting the partition, copying files, and installing the bootloader. I haven't used it a whole lot, but they pack a lot into 60MB.

    So, how exactly do you use Knoppix to (for example) clean viruses and adware/malware, fix corrupt registry or NTFS drive, or undelete files from Windows system?

    canadiangoose in the post above has replied with a number of specific F/OSS tools to aid with system recovery and filesystem forensics. I would like to add that these tools, and more, are included with a number of Knoppix-derived security LiveCD distros. Here is a partial list:



    As I posted before, BartsPE is a cute tool that was useful in running a Windows-only firmware tool, and it is superior to captive-ntfs when transferring large amounts of data from NTFS partitions. However, it feels absolutely crippled compared to Knoppix. Since I mostly use Linux at home and work, I have fortunately been spared the necessity of doing a lot of system recovery and malware cleaning; I cannot comment as to whether BartsPE or Knoppix is better at these tasks for Windows systems.

    Don't forget INSERT (http://www.inside-security.de/insert_en.html). I started using it a year or so ago after trying both it and damnsmalllinux. FWIW, INSERT won hands down (at that time, and for my needs). Now if only I could get captive NTFS to work. It supposedly r0x0rs, but it's never worked for me...

    If you're going to suggest a Knoppix-STD alternative, why not name one that's intended for data recovery and system restoration...

    The only recovery disks that I've found worth using are a custom gentoo based live-cd and INSERT

    Knoppix-STD or some other live disk is good for imaging and file recovery, but lacks real utility... like editing a windows 2000 registry, or doing vfat/ntfs hacking

    Go Ahead, try INSERT (and yes, i know it's Knoppix Based)

    Insert linux is a knoppix based recovery linux that has read/write access to ntfs partitions. Very handy and has some nice recovery tools. It still needs a few more things but they are working on it from what I read.
