RE: the best pen-testing live linux distro????

["Dixon, Wayne" <wcdixo () aurora lib il us>]

All,

 I like the list of live Linux Distros.. But what about installed
security distros?  Does anybody have any suggestions for those?

Thanks

Wayne

Hi all,
try to look at that:

http://www.darknet.org.uk/2006/03/10-best-security-live-cd-distros-pen-t
est-forensics-recovery/

I tested some of them and Backtrack is really good.
Maybe one point from my side - Try Pentoo, I like it too... Regards,
Michal
