Whoppix: Penetration Testing Live CD

Knoppix seems to stimulate people to build applications on top of it and this is my last discover: Whoppix.

Whoppix is a stand alone penetration testing live cd based on Knoppix. With the latest tools and exploits, it is a must for every penetration tester and security auditor. Whoppix includes Several exploit archives, such as Securityfocus, Packetstorm, SecurityForest and Milw0rm, as well as a wide variety of updated security tools. The new custom kernel also allows for better WIFI support.

If you want to check if your network is secure, this tool could help you. Recommended!

Whoppix is not the only good tool out there. Long before Whoppix became Whax (based on Slax), there was another pentest live CD based on Slax - Securinix. That project has been reborn as Arudius and has been completely revamped so now it has more security tools than Whax, boots faster and is 1/3 the size of Whax/Whoppix so you can run it completely from RAM. Check it out at <a href="http://arudius.sourceforge.net">Arudius</a>
