Greetings!
The Live Hacking CD is out! Maybe that
is an unusual start for a newsletter, but I am excited! This month we released
the Live Hacking CD after two months hard work to produce an easy to use and
practical penetration test live CD. The ISO image is available for free at
LiveHacking.Com and it has been downloaded more than 380 times in less than 4
days. Try it and let us know what you think.
I also have more exciting news that I
want to share with you! We have created an information security news website at
SecurityPuls.Com. This website simultaneously collects and processes the latest
Information Security stories from different sources such as Microsoft, Cisco
and Oracle to keep you posted about the latest trends in Information Security.
We look forward for your comments and
feedback.
Kind regards,
Dr. Ali Jahangiri

Security Expert Releases
New Linux Distribution for Ethical Hacking and
Penetration Testing; Introducing the Live Hacking CD
The Live Hacking CD is
a new Linux distribution packed with tools and utilities
for ethical hacking, penetration testing and
countermeasure verification. Based on Ubuntu this 'Live
CD' runs directly from the CD and doesn't require
installation on your hard-drive. Once booted you can use
the included tools to test, check and ethically hack
your own network to make sure that it is secure from
outside intruders.
Dr. Ali Jahangiri,
the well known security expert and author of Live
Hacking: The Ultimate Guide to Hacking Techniques &
Countermeasures for Ethical Hackers & IT Secu rity
Experts, is pleased to announce the launch of the Live
Hacking CD, a new Linux distribution designed for
ethical hacking.
The Live Hacking CD
contains the tools and utilities you need to test and
hack your own network but using the tools and techniques
that more malicious hackers would use.
As a derivative of Ubuntu this 'Live CD' runs directly
from the CD and doesn't need installing on your
hard-drive. Once booted you can use the included tools
to perform penetration tests and ethically hack on your
own network to ensure that it is secure from outside
intruders. As well as the standard Linux networking
tools the Live Hacking CD has tools for DNS enumeration
and reconnaissance as well as utilities for
foot-printing, password cracking and network sniffing.
It also has programs for spoofing and a set of wireless
networking utilities.
Dr. Jahangiri, the world renowned security expert and
the brain-child behind the Live Hacking CD, has made it
freely available to the public to encourage IT
professionals and others to enhance their knowledge and
to prepare for the malicious activities of the
unscrupulous hacker.
'I am really happy to see we accomplished this public
domain project and we had a strong response, from IT
professionals, in the first hours of releasing the Live
Hacking CD' said Dr. Ali Jahangiri. 'I would like to
thank the Live Hacking CD team members and our senior
consultant Gary Sims for their efforts and non-stop work
in the past two months.'
The Live Hacking CD is based on open source technology
and uses the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution as its
base. All the tools included can be freely found in
either the Ubuntu repositories or on the Internet. The
CD is designed to be a platform to help IT security
professionals (as well as those with a general interest
in information security) to start, understand and
conduct penetration tests and ethical hacking.
As with all community and open source projects, Dr.
Jahangiri and his team welcome all comments, and
suggestions along with possible cooperation
opportunities to make the Live Hacking CD as complete
and useful as possible.
Accompanying the Live Hacking CD is the LiveHacking.com
website which contains information about Dr. Jahangiri's
book "Live Hacking: The Ultimate Guide to Hacking
Techniques & Countermeasures for Ethical Hackers & IT
Security Experts" and details of the Live Hacking
Workshops which Dr Jahangiri runs internationally to
introduce IT professionals to the world of hacking and
empower them with the knowledge they need to thwart the
criminal elements in cyberspace.
