Puck: A LiveCD Containing Top Penetration Testing Tools!

January 23rd, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments

Puck is a GNU/Linux distribution distributed as a Live CD based on TinyCoreLinux. Tiny Core Linux is a very small (10 MB) minimal Linux GUI Desktop. It is based on Linux 2.6 kernel, Busybox, Tiny X, and Fltk. The core runs entirely in ram and boots very quickly. Puck contains top penetration testing tools.

    * Chntpw
    * Curl

    * John the ripper
    * Kismet

Though it can not be considered as a competition to the likes of BackTrack, Pentoo etc… great thing about Puck is its only 55 Mb. It is quick and easy to boot. Puck is based on TinyCoreLinux so we may have some issues related to some drivers, otherwise its great!
