Assess System Security Using a Linux LiveCD (developerWorks)
developerWorks takes
a look at four live Linux CDs; Auditor, Whoppix (now WHAX), Knoppix-STD and Phlak; that can be used to assess security
vulnerabilities. "While everyone agrees that making a security
assessment of a system or network is of critical concern and that a
thorough assessment is a time-consuming effort that should probably be
performed in concert with other testing (such as performance, for example),
being able to rapidly check a system for vulnerabilities is also a useful
tool, one made possible by these four security-assessment packages in
LiveCD format."
