PHLAK

[ Thanks to goonsqad
for this link. ]

Two developers from Texas, USA have released their first
open-source project. The project is called PHLAK, short for
Professional Hacker’s Linux Assault Kit. Phlak is a LiveCD Linux
distribution with a focus on pen-testing, forensics, and network
analysis. It includes two lightweight GUIs (XFCE4 and Fluxbox) and
loads of tools, including crackers, sniffers, MITM utilities, and
data recovery and duplication utilities. It includes a seven-step
GUI to install to your hard drive if you desire. PHLAK will
hopefully become a “tool-of-the-trade” amongst security
professionals across the world.

The current version of PHLAK is 0.1. If anyone would like to
grab a copy or check out the site you can access it at

feedback.
