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

First, I think everyone will end up finding certain distros more to their liking. Try them out, stick with one that 
works for you. And yes, sometimes they do have different tools.

Second, I really think a majority of people will benefit the most from and recommend BackTrack as a preferred 
security-based livecd. It has been around a while, is highly supported and developed, and plenty of people not only use 
it, but give details on uses for it on the web.

Others may have an opinion on better distros for forensics, as those tools do differ.


<- snip ->
I have read many and seen many articles about Linux Live CDs for 
Penetration Test

But I could not figure out which is the best CD ? Does each flavor 
(Live CD) get tools and utilities that are not available with other ?
