SumoLinux

Security professionals in the industry have a variety of tools at their disposal.  Folks like the ones over at Offensive Security created Backtrack 3 which is a swiss army knife of penetration testing, information gathering and security analysis tools.  Well kicking things up a few notches, the folks over at Nerv-Labs have built a Live DVD that includes all kinds security distros in one bootable DVD.  This was recently featured in Episode 0×415 of Hak5.  Still, there were a couple tools missing from the security professional’s toolbelt: Helix and Samurai.  Helix 2.0 is the forensics distro, and Samurai is the awesome web application attack/assessment distro put out by InGuardians.

The two newcomers to the block are a really handy addition to the otherwise complete toolkit.  DBAN (Darik’s Boot and Nuke) is a disk wiping boot cd that has templates for DoD, Gutmann, and PCMP wiping standards. And last but not least is DVL (Damn Vulnerable Linux) which is a distro where you can learn security, starting from basic netcat listening to exploit development.
