BackBox Linux

[Daniel Toliaferro]

BackBox Linux is a new penetration testing/security Linux distribution.

It's based on Ubuntu 11.04 and has something like 77 tools included (with

more in the repository).

It's different from BackTrack in that it is a truly open source project that

anybody can contribute to and is not backed by a corporate entity. All

previous versions can be downloaded and are supported. Also, you can

add the BackBox PPA to your favorite Debian-based distro and install

the BackBox packages on it.

I've been messing around with it a bit, and it's worth a look. BackBox 3

should be coming out this September.
