Local Area Security Linux 0.4a

Posted by michael on from the sysadmin-toolkit dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Local Area Security Linux is a small 'live CD' distribution based on Knoppix that aims at being less than 185MB so it will fit on a MiniCD. It is now 107MB with FluxBox as the window manager. It contains about 100 security (forensics, penetration testing, firewall, intrusion detection, etc.) tools including Ethereal and Nessus. See a screenshot here."

    The window manager that LAS is using, fluxbox, is a truly great window manager. I think that it is one of my favorites. It basically is an extension of the blackbox window manager. I was actually reading a review on it earlier.

    Overall, this is a great new window manager, that will perform well on lower end machines.

    You can now.

    Check out Morphix. It's a distro based on Knoppix, but modularized. There are small versions (that will fit on a mini-CD) as well as "fat" versions (with all the bells and whistles).

    It's designed so that you can choose the features you want, add additional software, and burn a custom CD. Not quite turnkey, but quite doable with a little effort.
