With tens of tools for network and system security
http://i39.tinypic.com/f0yu6t.jpg
WeakNet Labs has just released the latest version of its highly customized WeakNet Linux, a penetration testing Linux distribution packed with goodies for security experts and sysadmins, but not only. WeakNet Linux IV brings the first release of the custom WeakerThan Linux kernel with built-in support for packet injection and a faster boot time. It also comes with a lot of tools for testing a network’s strength to attacks and other types of security-related testing.
WeakNet Linux IV packs in a lot of punch. The OS boots lightning-fast, thanks to a great deal of optimizations on this part. It’s very lightweight, it uses Fluxbox as a window manager and most utilities have been chosen with speed in mind. Google Chrome is now the default web browser, its speed and relatively small memory footprint made it a perfect candidate for WeakNet. WeakNet Linux IV also gets a visual revamp with a new Fluxbox theme and boot splash.

Highlights of WeakNet Linux IV:
· WeakerThan Linux kernel 1.0;
· Wireless penetration testing tools: FreeRADIUS WPE edition, AIRPWN, a customized Kismet, and a lot more;
· Better wireless support, with Ath9k, Ath5k, Rt73USB and Broadcom drivers modified for packet injection;
· Boots directly into X, skips any graphical login manager;
· More ‘user-friendly’ pen testing tools;
· FTP and networking clients like VNC and Filezilla;
· Better MITM (Man-in-the-middle) support and new apps;
· Google Chrome replaces Mozilla Firefox;
· RAV hunter - a new tool that seeks and destroys rogue antivirus clients on infected Windows machines;
· SAM Hunter - a utility to reset passwords on Windows 7,Vista, XP and NT machines;
· Technician utilities - a bunch of utilities for Windows and Mac admin and security-related jobs.

WeakNet Linux IV in action
As far as the apps and utilities that come bundled are concerned, WeakNet Linux IV is a security expert’s dream. It comes with plenty of tools for network, both wired and wireless, security and testing, but also tools for SQL, web and even Bluetooth hacking. Of course, there are plenty of other tools in the repositories if the bundled apps aren’t right for the job.
