Hi list, I'd like to announce he public release of WHAX v.3.0. WHAX is the natural evolution of WHoppix - a live cd, standalone penetration testing toolkit. There are some major new features in WHAX which add huge functionality compared Whoppix, and may change the way we use live distributions. WHAX is so longer based on Knoppix, but on SLAX, a Slackware live cd. One of the main reasons I decided to try this is due to the wonderful world of modularity which SLAX uses. For us, this modularity means that we can easily customize our version of WHAX, and include whichever modules we like. All the tools have been compiled to "WHAX Modules" which can be easily added or removed, depending on our needs. (http://cvs.iwhax.net) Modularity also makes software updates much easier - for example, if a new version of software (such as Metasploit Framework) has been released, we can now download the updated module, and update our livecd / usb stick instantly. This new setup allows for the greatest flexibility, as modules are easy to create (even from windows) - which means that if we want to add that tool (or wallpaper) we always wanted, but never appeared in Whoppix, we can now do it ourselves.
