OK you've just got hit by a virus or youv'e been hacked or someone in your company has just deleted all f your files or , well your not sure are you.
Want to be sure?
Today i find on the net a set of tools that can help you answer those questions (and more) and they all come on a single cd that you don't need to install to use. pretty good eh?
Yup another Knoppix disk is out and thids time it's the security tools distribution.
If you have to watch over a file server that might get attacked or if you are a web master or a security firm in the making this is the tools you have been looking for.
There are all kinds of tools from intrusion detection (IDS) to forensic analysis of a dea hard drive.
And it's all Open Source. Right, GPL mostly and free for anyone to use. Yes people can use these tools to cause trouble but if you now how to use them you can stop them and catch them as well. Each set of tools of a given type is grouped together in the directory structure as well as the menu structre in the windo manager.
Very cool layout and every grouped directoy has an RTFM directory so you can learn how to use the tools included.
Well thought out and based on top of one of the best bootable distributions out there it's one tool I will keep in my tool chest.
