14 DAY TRIAL // Arudius Live CD is an information assurance (IA) Linux distribution with tools for penetration testing and vulnerability analysis.
Information Assurance has many other aspects besides network security. The Arudius team has decided to call Arudius a tool for information assurance because the mainstream public identifies information assurance primarily with securing network-enabled systems.
Arudius Live CD is based on Zenwalk Linux on top of which a large collection of network security testing software has been installed. It includes tools listed on Insecure.org Top 75 list. The CD will also include in the near future other tools for information assurance developed by the creators of this distro, mainly network sniffers for IM, P2P applications and possibly an open source web content filtering system.
What are the tools included?
