Introducing BlackRoute

- Security and forensic analysis distro

By: Marius Nestor, Linux Editor

BlackRoute is yet another Slackware-based Linux distribution for security and forensic analysis, created for x86 compatible architectures. What is so special about BlackRoute is the fact that it tries to create an Open Source Linux distribution for advanced users, security and network specialists and system administrators.

As I've just said, BlackRoute is based on the very old and popular Slackware Linux, Slackware 11.0 to be more precise and it's powered by the 2.6.20.11 Linux kernel and WindowMaker window manager. It contains a lot of applications for forensic analysis tasks, the largest exploits collection ever, a lot of FUSE filesystems and more:
