which opens the door to mentioning security related live CDs (i know that matt pointed one out, but it was for getting users to test things out, i'm thinking about security live CDs for fixing problems). INSERT - inside security rescue toolkit, lots of nice features from the web page. Uses NTFS captive, so it's useful for helping people whose computers are so 0wnz0r3d that windows can't clean itself (insert +captive can read/write ntfs, albeit slowly, so it can scan for viruses/trojans/etc with the built-in clamav): http://www.inside-security.de/insert_en.html PHLAK has already been mentioned. not something i use, but there it be. hmmm, and in googling for "security linux live cd" i see a list of far too many live cds to test: http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php which totally sidetracked me from pointing out more security related live CDs. never mind, they're probably in frozentech somewhere. no doubt there are more that frozentech hasn't mentioned, but the major players will be there, and that's already far too many to even test out in a week or two anyway :-) tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com http://monotremetech.blogspot.com Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Human beings who spend their lives studying the state of the world, in other words, are poorer forecasters than dart-throwing monkeys. -- http://www.newyorker.com/critics/books/articles/051205crbo_books1 -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus.blogspot.com http://monotremetech.blogspot.com Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.
