If you are a Geek, a computer loving freak, a security professional or
just tech-curious, you should check out Knoppix STD. And NO, the
“STD” doesn't stand for Sexually Transmitted Disease, it stands for
Security Tools Distribution.
So what is Knoppix? It is an operating system that runs from a
CD!! I learned about this a few years ago and I'm still blown
away. It is the perfect tool for Security Professionals and
Hackers because it allows you to boot directly from the Disk and use
all the resources of the comptuer.
The computer has to be set to boot from a disk of course, but that is
as hitting the F12 key (or whatever key it is.. don't recall.. F8.. no
thats SAFE MODE). Some laptops are tricky as well.. may take some
tinkering with the different modes.
This sucker has all kinds of hacker, security, and even FORENSICS TOOLS built in it!
Go out there and down load it.. its free.
