I did some work this weekend involving some penetration testing. I used a LiveCD called BackTrak (which is Ubuntu based). It comes loaded with a ton of tools and really makes it easy to do some pretty intensive testing. I won’t got into the details on what all I tested, but suffice it to say this will be added to my “must have” live CD collection which include:
- Knoppix – pretty much the standard in LiveCD’s
- Damn Small Linux – used for quick access to stuff while on other people’s systems
- pfsense – Built in sniffer makes this a really easy remote tool to use for grabbing traces.
- gparted live– Used for partition management
- SystemRescueCD – Great little system rescue tool
- Darik’s Boot –n- Nuke – Easily erase hard drives
- SMART – Data forensics (Used to love Helix but now you gotta pay for it. )
- CloneZilla – Disk cloning at it’s best.
How ‘bout you? Got Tools? What’s your fav?
