NetSecL (previously known as ISlack) is a security-focused Linux distribution.

It includes Grsecurity by default. Most of the numerous security-related software is suited for penetration testing of your network.

There are also security tools for testing your local security and IDSs for monitoring.

The configuration of NetSecL is hardened by default: (listening for connection) services are turned off, and incoming ports are closed.

What's New in This Release:
There are some important security improvements since ISlack 1.2. There are two 'paranoia' kernels 2.6.x and 2.4.x; they are very restrictive so please be carefull - it is advisable to use them as second kernels. PaX kernels are on CD 2; don't use the kernels from the 'bootme' directory on CD 1 as a second kernel. Some of the libraries were recompiled so they can not use the stack, X was also recompiled and became a little bigger.
