You should take a look at www.knoppix-std.org ... it is a bootable CD that contains lots of tools and you can customize it with more if you are willing to remaster the CD yourself. It does a lot of what you are looking for in a 'universal CD'.

By system security audits I mean things like checking if computer is free of malware, trojans, viruses, if user has appropriate permissions (not too high or to say if user has restrictive permissions) etc. I have a couple of ideas which i could use, one is to create an universal CD with all the stuff needed. Everything is on the CD, nothing will be installed on the client's computer. The Audit Team just puts CD in, runs applications and that's it. The other is to bool from a CD on the client's computer which would bring us to some different environment (probably linux). As booted mount the filesystems and do all the audit stuff from such environment. Or, please, suggest any other methods that could be used.
