Backtrack OS


BackTrack is the most Top rated linux live distribution focused on penetration testing. With no installation whatsoever, the analysis platform is started directly from the CD-Rom and is fully accessible within minutes.

The new incarnation of the Whoppix/Whax Linux live-cd for penetration testing has been released as “Backtrack Linux“. Backtrack is a joint effort from by the developers of Whoppix/Whax and Auditor Linux to create a live-cd that combines the best aspects of the others.It’s based on Slax Linux and does not need a harddrive install to be used.
It may be used via USB token, hard drive install, in RAM as a live cd or in a virtual machine with VM Ware. Whoppix and Whax were excellent tools and I can’t wait to test this out.Go download the latest ISO and give it a go.
