I agree. If you want up to date, you'll have to do twice as much work with Knoppix. Does anyone out there have a set of tools that they use to build a knoppix cd when they need to upgrade a single (or small set) of utilities within the distro? Jacob Todd Towles wrote:Knoppix is good and very useful, but has drawbacks. You can't keep it very up-to-date and you have to run it all the CD. The new version of Nmap (3.55) has really good OS detection and of course you wouldn't have that in Knoppix. I use Knoppix and Knoppix-STD for Kismet and Airsnort mostly. Or just messsing around at Startbucks ;) But to really get the newest tools, you need to have a linux box and learn to work with apps on it. Just 2c
Knoppix is very easy to customize. Just go to the Knoppix homepage and download the Knoppix Remastering Howto, it's really easy to remove all the packages you don't need and update it with the packages you need. We have made a distribution for security porpourses called CDkiller with nmap 3.55, nessus, ethereal, hydra, forensic tools, etc. It has everything you could need for a security consultoring job and it even has space to add new tools if you needed. Once you have the trees in the hard disk it's just 10 or 15 minutes to build a new distribution with all the tools you need. -- Jose Maria Lopez Hernandez Director Tecnico de bgSEC jkerouac () bgsec com bgSEC Seguridad y Consultoria de Sistemas Informaticos http://www.bgsec.com ESPAÑA The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles. -- Jack Kerouac, "On the Road" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
