It's not a "complete, full solution" security CD like the others, but
rather it seems to focus strictly on pen-testing. The amount of
included ready-to-go exploits are impressive, plus Nessus (with update
script) runs smooth as silk. With a simple Internet connection, you
can have Nessus completely updated and ready to scan in minutes (from
a cold machine).
I'm still amazed by the hardware detection - it does better then
Knoppix v3.7. (I did finally get Knoppix v3.7 going and it still
doesn't recognize my 1GB I-Stick. WHoppix does without a hitch - it's
what I'm using for my persistant home.) It's not something you'll want
to rely solely on for all your security needs, but if you plan on
doing pen-testing, take a copy and speed things up. ;)
