Re: Can we say Back|Track best CD for a Penetration Test

["Brad Bendily" <bendily () gmail com>]

I'm not going to say it's better or worse than Backtrack, cause I
don't know for sure,
I haven't dug through both of them enough to know for sure.
This was announced, I think on this list, last week.
It's definitely worth checking out more than one!

KCPentrix, a bootable LiveCD designed for penetration testing.

http://www.kcpentrix.com/

The Kcpentrix Project was founded in May 2005 , KCPentrix 1.0 was
liveCD designed to be a standalone Penetration testing toolkit for
pentesters, security analysts and System administrators

What's New in KcPentrix 2.0:

Now release 2.0 is a liveDVD, It features a lot of new or up to date
tools for auditing and testing a network, from scanning and
discovering to exploiting vulnerabilities

Kcpentrix is based on SLAX 5, a Slackware live Dvd

The Powerful modularity which Kcpentrix uses, allow us to easily
customize our version, and include whichever modules we need.

KCPENTRIX 2.0 is the most inovative and promising KCPENTRIX ever.
It switched to 2.6 kernel line. Zisofs compression was replaced by
SquashFS, which provides better compression ratio and higher read
speed.
