Live Hacking DVD
by mayur khokhard
Live Hacking DVD is a
new Linux distribution packed with tools and utilities for ethical
hacking, penetration testing and countermeasure verification. Based on
Ubuntu this ‘Live DVD” runs directly from the DVD and doesn’t require
installation on your hard-drive. Once booted you can use the included
tools to test, check, ethically hack and perform penetration tests on
your own network to make sure that it is secure from outside intruders.
As well as the standard Linux networking
tools like ping, wget, curl, telnet and ssh, the Live Hacking DVD has
tools for DNS enumeration and reconnaissance as well as utilities for
foot-printing, password cracking and network sniffing. It also has
programs for spoofing and a set of wireless networking utilities.
The Live Hacking DVD is designed for
ethical computer hacking, meaning that it contains the tools and
utilities you need to test and hack your own network but using the tools
and techniques that more malicious hackers would use.
The Live Hacking DVD is based on open
source technology and uses the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution as its
base. All the tools included can be freely found in either the Ubuntu
repositories on from the Internet. The DVD is designed to be a platform
to help IT security professionals (as well as those with a general
interest in information security) to start, understand and conduct
penetration tests and ethical hacking.
The Live Hacking Mini CD is a small
Linux distribution designed for ethical computer hacking. Based on its
bigger brother (the Live Hacking DVD) this mini distribution contains
the tools and utilities you need to test and hack your own network by
using the tools and techniques employed by more malicious hackers.
The Live Hacking Mini CD
is a ‘Live CD’ meaning that it runs directly from the CD and doesn’t
need installing on your hard-drive. Once booted you can use the included
utilities to perform penetration tests and ethically hack on your own
network to ensure that it is secure from outside intruders.
To reduce this Linux distribution to a
smaller size, the GNOME user interface has been removed, meaning that
this is a command-line only distribution. However this doesn’t detract
from the power of the tools and utilities included as most of the
penetration testing and ethical hacking tools are command line tools. As
well as the standard Linux networking tools the Live Hacking Mini CD
has tools for DNS enumeration and reconnaissance as well as utilities
for foot-printing, password cracking and network sniffing. It also has
programs for spoofing and a set of wireless networking utilities. Once
booted checkout the /lh directory to see the tools included.
