Trinux is a micro-Linux distribution that boots from 2-3 floppies or a FAT partition and provides a comprehensive set of Open Source network security tools useful for monitoring and mapping TCP/IP networks. Trinux runs entirely in RAM, transparently converting any i386 PC with at least 16MB of memory into a powerful network security management workstation. NICs supported by Linux kernel 2.0.36 should be compatible and experimental support is available for laptops/PCMCIA. Due to its modular design, users can easily create customized tool-sets on non-UNIX platforms simply by copying Trinux package files to a MS-DOS formatted floppy. The ultimate goal of the Trinux project is to provide a complete set of Open Source security solutions for network mapping/vulnerability assessment, IDS/network monitoring, firewalls, high performance secure web servers, and network deception/honey pots. See the web page for formal development objectives. Trinux is currently maintained by less than a dozen developers but welcomes the assistance of members of the Linux/Open Source/security community. If you are interested in contributing to this project send me an email after stopping by the Trinux web page. Trinux is released under the terms of GPL.
