If by hacking, you mean penetration and security testing, then there are plenty of linux distros for that purpose. Some of which have been designed from scratch for the sole purpose of penetration testing and mobility. Some of them are - LAS, Knopix, Flak, SELinux, IPCop etc. These distros have been designed for different uses. For example IPCop is used for firewall design and testing. PHLAK stands for Professional Hackers Linux Assualt kit. So you can guess what it is used for!!! Even knopix which is not so concentrated on security, contains basic packet sniffing and network mapping tools. Hope this helps - #http://kein.dnip.net/blog/attach/1/1184125567.png#

Did you seriously just point some script kiddie (with the common misconception that linux is a hacking tool) in the right direction? Dude! Seriously. Way to perpetuate negative stereotypes. :P

sorry brother, didnt think of it that way, until you pointed it out. I guess, I can just hope now, that the good faith in which the information was provided will not be abused. :P

There has been no question of your intention, sir. BTW, I've caught a lot of your posts on here and you're a helpful dude. Without people like you I'd still be a windows user, you're doing the lord's work.
