Damn Vulnerable Linux

As the title says it's a linux distro that you don't want really want to distribute (unless you know what you are doing). This distro is a heavily modified knoppix . Build on top of a broken 2.4 kernel it comes with a lot of holes to explore. There are range of exploits experiment can be test on this distro. I recommended running it on either qemu or vmware. It also comes with range of binary cracking files, basic web hacking challenge and , b0f challenge ( i love this one)

Althought the Blackhat Edition is being delay (some sort of bug in the metasploit package i guess). I think the basic core is just nice. Download it run it on vmware and experiment yourself with lots of classic vulnerable codes.

A good distro for educating ethical hacking i guess .
