Wubi Posted July 31, 2012 Report Posted July 31, 2012 Wow! This sure has taken us by surprise! We thought the Pentoo was long dead, but it has proved us wrong and has literally risen from the ashes! We now have a 64-bit Pentoo 2012.0 Defcon Release amongst us and our very initial posting about Pentoo.“Pentoo is a Live CD and Live USB designed for penetration testing and security assessment. Based on Gentoo Linux, Pentoo is provided both as 32 and 64 bit livecd. It features packet injection patched wifi drivers, GPGPU cracking software, and lots of tools for penetration testing and security assessment. The Pentoo kernel includes grsecurity and PAX hardening and extra patches – with binaries compiled from a hardened toolchain with the latest nightly versions of some tools available.”Changes made to Pentoo:New “pentoo” profiles which allow you to use hardened or not at your choice (who wants to be soft?)Full GPU cracking support for both cuda and opencl on both AMD/ATI and nVIDIA hardware including but not limited to pyrit, JohnTheRipper, oclhashcat-plus, oclhashcat-liteShiny 3.4.2 kernel (hardened or not)Full support for the ubertooth hardware (also added to kismet and wireshark)New radio category for sdr hacking for things like the rtl-sdr and Ettus USRP devices.64 bit version (32 bit is a low priority until after the beta starts, sorry if your hardware is that old/crappy)Again, this is the short list of changes. The real changelog and planned features are mostly hiding in over 3000 commits in their SVN. Things which we can look forward to in the forthcoming releases are full ARM support and Openbts! But, as of now, we only have a 64-bit release! Should BackTrack watch out? Time will only tell.Download Pentoo:Pentoo 2012.0 Defcon Beta - pentoo-x86_64-2012.0_betazero.isoSursa: Pentoo 2012.0 Defcon Beta! — PenTestIT Quote
