Suite of hacker tools with no install Linux distro

Knoppix STD is a Linux-based Security Tool. Actually, it is a collection of hundreds if not thousands of open source security tools. It's a Live Linux Distro, which means it runs from a bootable CD in memory without changing the native operating system of the host computer. Its sole purpose in life is to put as many security tools at your disposal with as slick an interface as it can.

Knoppix STD doesn't even have to be installed. Just burn it to a CD, place it in your CD drive, reboot the computer and let it boot from the CD. Knoppix STD will be setup for you. Couldn't be easier to play around with a Linux distro or in this case test out some hacker tools. (built ontop of Knoppix)
