This is exactly the system I have been meaning to create. Dump all the games and I'm sure we can fit these on. I know many are already in the regular system.

I have used most of these and would like to get comments from other more experienced admins on their favorite tools.

airsnort
amap
arping
cheops
etherape
ethereal
fping
gipsc
ipfm
ipsc
iptraf
kismet
mrtg
nbtscan
netsaint
ntop
pchar
snort
tcpdump

Some of my favorite tools are:

tcptraceroute
iplog
arping
portsentry

Note that Red Hat released a program arping which is NOT the one I like, but rather there is another one that allows you to ping addresses by just giving an ARP address.

You might wish to note that the latest release has the following already:

kismet
tcpdump
iptraf
ethereal
airsnort

kismet
tcpdump

airsnort

However, Kismet in 3.1 is only a 1.4 version and I been having issues getting it working properly.

As for tools on the custome knoppix... don't forget MTR ... great traceroute util

BTW... what is the current status of this project?? I am very interested.
Thanks!

Glad you asked, cause I've been meaning to post. I remastered by removing all the foreign language (non-English) KDE files to make room. I added all the packages posted here. Of course many need more configuring to work from the CD, but they do work. If there was someplace to upload my iso I'd be happy to.

I believe mtr is already there. I don't remember installing it and it ran when when I started it.

cool!

Yeah I would love to get a copy of your new ISO.
Does Kismet work on your ISO? If so what version of Kismet is it?

As for servers... I don't know where you can put it, but I can probably set some space aside on my home ftp tonight if you are interested. Email me or IM me and I can get it setup. Also you might want to think about using BitTorrent to distribute instead of hosting it on one single FTP.

Thank

Sorry for the delay in reply, I though I would be notified of replies. Seems that works sometimes and not others. Anyway, I have v 2.6.2-6 of kismet. I have not tried it from CD. I know it works from a HD install. I'll try it from CD and let you know.

I'll check out BitTorrent too.
