SlackPen is a Live CD based on Slackware Linux. Our current goal is to offer everything necessary to perform a complete security audit of your network, in a low overhead environment.
The end goal of SlackPen is to provide an easy installer for our other project SlackWall, a Slackware based firewall distribution. It seemed like a good idea to make the installer useful after the install, SlackPen was born.
Unlike some other live cds with common goals, SlackPen is not intended to be user-friendly (though some of the tools are). We assume that the users of SlackPen have some experience with linux, and know their way around.
Check out the Screenshots section to see how SlackPen looks.
SlackPen distribution was built using Slackware and the linux-live scripts written by Tomas Matejicek.
Here are some key features of "SlackPen":
Slackware Linux based live cd
Lightweight using Fluxbox, and many console based apps for common tasks such as Instant Messaging.
Runs nicely on new and old hardware.
Tools you need. SlackPen comes packed with a large collection of security/auditing tools no whitehat should be without.
SlackWall installer. (Coming soon!)
