Thanks to Matthew Franz
for this announcement.
Trinux 0.61 is the first functional release of the new
glibc2-kernel 2.2.x development track of Trinux: A Linux Security Toolkit.
Trinux 0.61 supports the latest 2.2.10 kernel and provides
integrated support for common (3Com, SMC, Intel, DEC, NE2000)
Ethernet chipsets as well as automatic network configuration using
DHCP.
A “classic” data disk is available that provides packages for
performing network mapping, vulnerability scanning, and network
monitoring, although the eventual goal of Trinux-OpenSEC is to
distribute customized Linux-based “security appliances” using Open
Source tools.
Improvement’s over 0.4x/0.5x Series:
————————————
- Smaller, modularized initial ramdisk
- Initialization scripts reside on floppy (not in initrd) for
easier customization and development - Fast, remote package loading using wget
- Binary compatibility with RedHat 5.2
- Updated versions versions of tools such as nmap, ntop, and
iptraf - New tools such as ipchains, cgichk, hping, and mns
Trinux disk images are available on the Trinux FTP server under
/pub/trinux/images/devel/0.61/
and at Trinux
Mirrors such as SunSITE and kernel.org.
