Today, we want share about the secure linux distro (this is our version) and in this first part, we want to talk about NetSecL. NetSecL is a distro based on OpenSuse that suitable for Desktop / Server and Penetration Testing usage. GrSecurity is a great security improvement that we can get the benefit with NetSecL and have a normally functional OS together with the NetSecL Firewall and Penetration tools we are always ready and know at what level our security is. Tools that included in NetSecL such as Amap, Etherape, Hydra, Kismet, Nessus, Nmap, Metasploits, PADS, OpenVAS, and many conosle applications for penetration testing.

 NetSecL was handled by a man for long time but now, this project has a team. They are Yuriy Stanchevas the project leader and developer, and Milen Aleksandrov as the webdesigner and tester of the NetSecL Linux distribution. We can contact NetSecL‘s team using this NetSecl‘s contact page.

NetSecL‘s Recent Release (July, 14th 2011) is 3.2 that comes with new branding of LXDE Desktop Manager which increase sophistically the perfomance experience, the team has closed many bugs and gained more compatibility to OpenSuse 11.4. Most 11.4′s package compatible and GrSecurity is updated to 2.6.32.8.

NetSecL‘s package that have been fixed :

• Ext4 issue with GrSecurity is resolved
• booting in VM with new GrSecurity resolved
• New Metasploit
• Firefox 5
• Updated Exploit-db repository
• GrSecurity Kernel – locked from zypper – you can update the whole system without worrying
• Snort-inline reintegrated (get snort rules and change them to drop – if you use the advanced firewall)
• Size of the ISO smaller with 200 MB this allowed us to have a sub project NetSecL Toolset a minimal VM with console, webshell and all pentesting tools!

Minimal System Requirements for NetSecL is 1 GB of RAM, and 5 GB partition

If you are not going to install NetSecL and use NetSecL only as Live CD the password for the root and tux user is linux. This is the first part of secure linux distro, we made about 5 part of secure linux distro. So, keep stay tune here.
