New Live Security Distribution

Two developers from Texas, USA have released their first open-source project. Theis project is called PHLAK, short for Professional Hacker's Linux Assault Kit. Phlak is a LiveCD Linux distribution with a focus on pen-testing, forensics, and network analysis. It includes two lightweight GUIs (XFCE4 and Fluxbox) and loads of tools, including crackers, sniffers, MITM utilities, and data recovery and duplication utilities. It includes a seven-step GUI to install to your hard drive if you desire.

The developers of PHLAK welcome you to their project site: http://www.phlak.org. Feel free to grab a copy and leave some feedback.

So far we have been getting good feedback from the amount of users we have coming to the sight. We have yet to make it on Slashdot.org. Whenever that happens I look forward to the feedback we get from the user community.

RE: Hate

Is their server down, or is that just me...? I keep getting "connection refused." DOS perhaps?

Hey thanks for the heads up ive checked it out and its very cool. Plus it introduced me to a new favorite GUI "XFCE4" man its IMO so much less bloated than KDE i think its great. i Gotta install it on my slackware box now.

I only got one beef that is keeping me from giving it a 10. I couldnt find emacs anywheres on it. Maybe only a minor beef but as far as programming goes, for me emacs is a must. Other than that i thinks its great. Thanks A lot goonsqad.

RE: Fun

I just started the DL before going to school, I hope to see how it works when I get home. It looks nice as well, and if it takes up less space, good, now I can dual boot a bunch less room for *nix.

Does anyone have a comparison of this to knoppix-std? Would it be worth downloading if you already have kstd and would have to open up your computer to get it to burn properly?
