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."

    So is this a security or hacking cd? Seems like some good tools to me.

  2. live CDs are nice by Dark+Lord+Seth · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Live CDs like knoppix are all very lovely but when's the day that I can roll out my own live CDs without TOO much effort? Just select the packages you want, kernel, drivers, etc, wait as the program churns out a nice ISO for you which you can burn to a CD and voila, insta-Linux! Now that would seriously rock as you can simply modify all the basics as you see fit and can easily alter the whole deal for bugfixes.

    How about an version that you can (easily) put on an USB flash memory card and boot from there?
