Raising Caine

“Caine is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu 10.04 for
forensic scientists and security-conscious administrators. Poised
to do battle against IT ne’er-do-wells, Caine has a comprehensive
selection of software, a user-friendly GUI, and responsive
support.

“In 2007, IT systems were compromised with the Russian hacking
framework MPack [1], infecting masses of servers, mostly at data
centers in Italy. A short time later, 10 Italian open source
developers fought back and launched the forensics CD Caine
(Computer-Aided Investigative Environment). The Live CD is designed
to capture images and analyze compromised systems on site. The most
recent version is 2.0 [2].”
