Take a look at F.I.R.E. (aka Biatchux). http://biatchux.dmzs.com/?section=main Quote from website: "FIRE is a portable bootable cdrom based distribution with the goal of providing an immediate environment to perform forensic analysis, incident response, data recovery, virus scanning and vulnerability assessment." Personally, I have used it several times in quite a few different scenarios: - dd images over the network -- allows you to mount SMB, NFS, and more - dd drives locally - contains autopsy and lots of other forensic utils - mounts drives read-only for viewing contents - network testing - data recovery - too many features and tools to be listed A lot of work has gone into this custom distro and the author deserves some credit for his hard work. I have tested Trinux but found it to be a chore to get various utils downloaded/loaded off floppies compared to having everything right there on the bootable cd. -jhs =================================== | John H.
