REAL good suggestion!  Any specific recommendations as to what should be
on the CD?

It's a good idea to have a kit of such tools on a read-only
CD in advance of an incident like this, so that you have
tools you know you can trust -- that haven't been trojanned
-- ready to use.  It's rather like the instructions in a
snake-bite kit.  You want to be familiar with them *before*
Mr. Snake has his way with you.

I think you would be very impressed with the SpareMe! Super CD found at
http://www.securityposture.com, which is based on the WG distribution from
Fred Cohen and Associates at http://www.all.net. It is specifically designed
for these tasks and is a mature distribution which includes wireless
support. We have a version with with the ForensiX toolkit and training CD as
well.
