"Chaox is a live environment based on Arch Linux focusing on pentesting and forensics. We feature current snapshots of aircrack-ng, the dedected toolkit and forensic applications such as testdisk or foremost, along with the usual tools. For a complete list of packages check here. Want a more visual experience? Look at some screenshots. This project was originally developed with a “because we can” attitude, but we grew a more significant userbase recently, if you have any comments/suggestions/bug reports/contributions feel free to voice them in the comments of the relevant versions, in the forum or on irc."

"Kon-Boot is an prototype piece of software which allows to change contents of a linux kernel on the fly (while booting). In the current compilation state it allows to log into a linux system as 'root' user without typing the correct password or to elevate privileges from current user to root. It was acctually started as silly project of mine, which was born from my never-ending memory problems :) Secondly it was mainly created for Ubuntu, later i have made few add-ons to cover some other linux distributions. Finally, please consider this is my first linux project so far :) Entire Kon-Boot was written in pure x86 assembly, using old grandpa-geezer TASM 4.0. [...]

All CD-ISO's are working in so called Floppy Emulation mode, which should be handled correctly by 100% of Bioses which support the El-Torito bootable CD format. The ISO images were created by some really basic utilitty created by me, however you can convert the floopy images to iso's by using programs like mkisofs etc. etc."

"Cross Linux From Scratch (CLFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own customized Linux system entirely from source.

Why would I want a CLFS system? ¶

Many wonder why they should go through the hassle of building a Linux system from scratch when they could just download an existing Linux distribution. However, there are several benefits of building CLFS. Consider the following:

CLFS teaches people how to build a cross compiler

Building CLFS teaches you how to make a cross-compiler and the necessary tools, to build a basic system on a different architecture. For example you would be able to build a Sparc toolchain on an x86 machine, and utilize that toolchain to build a Linux system from source code.

CLFS teaches people how to utilize a multilib system

CLFS takes advantage of the target system's capability, by utilizing a multilib capable build system.

CLFS teaches people how a Linux system works internally

Building CLFS teaches you about all that makes Linux tick, how things work together and depend on each other. And most importantly, how to customize it to your own tastes and needs.

Building CLFS produces a very compact Linux system

When you install a regular distribution, you often end up installing a lot of programs that you would probably never use. They're just sitting there taking up (precious) disk space.

CLFS can be built from most Unix Style Operating Systems

You can build CLFS even if you don't have Linux running. Our build instructions have been tested to build from Solaris and the BSDs.

CLFS is extremely flexible

Building CLFS could be compared to a finished house. CLFS will give you the skeleton of a house, but it's up to you to install plumbing, electrical outlets, kitchen, bath, wallpaper, etc. You have the ability to turn it into whatever type of system you need it to be, customized completely for you.

CLFS offers you added security

You will compile the entire system from source, thus allowing you to audit everything, if you wish to do so, and apply all the security patches you want or need to apply. You don't have to wait for someone else to provide a new binary package that (hopefully) fixes a security hole. Often, you never truly know whether a security hole is fixed or not unless you do it yourself.

What can I do with my CLFS system? ¶

A by-the-book CLFS system is fairly minimal, but is designed to provide a strong base on which you can add any packages you want. See the CBLFS and BLFS projects for a selection of commonly used packages."

"CrunchBang Linux is an Ubuntu based distribution featuring the lightweight Openbox window manager and GTK+ applications. The distribution is developed from a minimal Ubuntu install and has been designed to offer a good balance of speed and functionality. [...]

With the exception of a few packages, CrunchBang Linux is built entirely from packages available from the Ubuntu repositories. CrunchBang Linux uses the same APT package management tools and update manager. CrunchBang Linux comes with all the lastest package updates installed and ready to go. If you are already familiar with Ubuntu, you should have no trouble working with CrunchBang Linux.

CrunchBang Linux is infinitely hackable, this is mainly due to the standards compliant light-weight extensible window manager that is Openbox. CrunchBang Linux also comes installed with Conky, the customisable lightweight system monitor; and PCManFM, a very popular and highly configurable file manager.

"CAINE (Computer Aided INvestigative Environment) is a GNU/Linux live distribution created by Giancarlo Giustini as a project of Digital Forensics for Interdepartment Center for Research on Security (CRIS), supported by the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
CAINE offers a complete forensic environment that is organized to integrate existing software tools as software modules and to provide a friendly graphical interface.
The main design objectives that CAINE aims to guarantee are the following:

* an interoperable environment that supports the digital investigator during the four phases of the digital investigation
* a user friendly graphical interface
* a semi-automated compilation of the final report

Main features:
- WinTaylor, forensic frontend for Windows environment
- Html page IE-compatible to run the forensic tools in Windows
- Ntfs-3g updated to 2009.1.1 (resolve a ntfs-3g bug)
- New boot option: text mode.
- Ubuntu 8.04 packages updated
- Firefox 3.0.6
- Gtkhash, frontend for hashing files
- New reporting features: investigators and case name added
- Multi-language report: italian, english, german, french and portuguese

"ULTILEX stands for "Ultimate Linux Experience". This is a live linux distribution which in turn contains other live linux distributions. You can boot ULTILEX from CD/DVD, as well as from USB device.

When you boot, the first thing you see is a beautiful startup screen where you can choose which live linux distribution to run. The current version of ULTILEX is 2.1.0 and it "wraps" the following live linux distributions:

* Slax 6.0.9
* Finnix 92.1
* System Rescue CD 1.1.6
* Puppy Linux 4.1.2
* Damn Small Linux 4.1.10

One very interesting feature of ULTILEX is that you can easily install it on USB flash device and save the changes you've made durign the live session on it. You can modify files and even install/remove modules and all your changes are saved on the USB flash.

To install on USB flash device, follow these steps (applied from Slax):

1. Copy all files and folders from the CD to the root folder of your USB flash device.
2. Execute "/boot/bootinst.sh" (for Linux), or "\boot\bootinst.bat" (for Windows).
3. That's all. You are ready to boot ULTILEX from your USB flash device! :) [...]

23-Mar-2009: MD5 checksums are available for download. You can find the links next to each available release (currently 2.1.0 and 1.0.1)."
