BackTrack
Description
BackTrack is a Linux distribution distributed as a LiveDistro which resulted from the merger of [http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=whoppix WHAX] and the Auditor Security Collection. It takes advantage of SLAX's modular design and structure to enable the user to include customizable scripts, additional tools and configurable kernels in personalized distributions. The BackTrack project was created by Mati Aharoni and Max Moser and is a collaborative effort involving the community.
The most recent version, BackTrack 2, was released on March 6, 2007 and includes over 300 security tools. BackTrack 3 has no solid schedule for release but it was announced that its main focus was to support more and newer hardware as well as provide more flexibility and modularity.
