Local Area Security Linux LiveCD

Posted by michael on from the sysadmin-warchest dept.

An anonymous reader writes "LocalAreaSecurity.com has released a new version of their live-CD Linux distribution for information security professionals. It contains over 200 security tools including all the usual suspects (Nmap, Nessus, etc.) as well as many other great tools less well known. The ISO images are meant to be burned on 185MB and 210MB miniCDs which they update around twice a month. L.A.S. also publishes many papers on how to use the tools as well as research docs on *nix security. Their latest papers include: Securing Mambo Open Source CMS, Doing More With Less: Nessus, and L.A.S. Security Tool Review and Howto: kismet."

    Ah, if only I had mini disks to burn it to. Guess it'll have to go on my 2 cent full size ones instead. Such a waste, when I could put it on a 1 cent one! Wow, 8 comments and the site's already down. Are they running the server off one of these mini-cds?

    > You'd think that someone clever enough to create a live linux CD would have heard of BitTorrent by now.

    You'd think someone clever enough to point it out would realize that they already have a torrent link on their page. (Rather than just jumping to a conclusion and looking like a fool.)

    On their page: http://www.localareasecurity.com/index.php?option= content&task=view&id=9&Itemid=28
