NEW • Development Release: Pentoo 2012.0 Beta |
 |
Michael Zanetta has announced the availability of the initial beta build of Pentoo 2012.0, a Gentoo-based live DVD featuring a collection of applications and tools designed to perform penetration testing: "The Pentoo team is pleased to announce public beta of Pentoo 2012. Yesterday at Defcon I was able to finally complete building of our brand new beta. I now present to you, the best pen-testing distro I was able to whip out in three days of heavy drinking and partying while walking around with my laptop all of Defcon constantly looking for a source of power to keep compile going. This ISO image has had nearly no QA at all, but I can promise it will rock your socks. I'm not going to say much here, except please try it. (Still 64-bit only for now, sorry.)"

Development Release: Pentoo 2013.0 RC1.1 |
|
Richard Farina has announced the availability of the first release candidate for Pentoo 2013.0, a Gentoo-based live DVD with a collection of penetration testing and forensic analysis tools: "Pentoo 2013.0 RC1. Jam-packed with 3.7.5 Linux kernel (PAX-hardened for 64-bit users) and built with a fully hardened toolchain (did someone say Wireshark exploit?). Time may have been passing, but we here at Pentoo have been anything but idle (you can check the SVN history). As usual, we have the latest tools and toys for all the good little pen testers. I simply couldn't list them all if I tried, so I'm not going to try. Everything has its usual amount of spit and polish on it, except the layers seem to be building up. This release comes with a shiny new installer with 200% more works! Automatic and manual modes for normal partitioning and booting now work properly, and the installer is very fast (you know, as fast as we can copy all that data to your hard drive)." Read the rest of the release announcement for more information. Download: pentoo-x86_64-2013.0_RC1.1.iso (1,942MB, SHA512). |

Development Release: Pentoo 2012.0 Beta 3 |
|
Michael Zanetta has announced the availability of the third beta release of Pentoo 2012.0, a specialist Gentoo-based live DVD containing a collection of penetration testing tools: "Today we are releasing the 64-bit edition of beta 3. The Pentoo Linux team really isn't accustomed to failure, but every single 32-bit build I've done has resulted in complete failure. Issues have ranged from horrifying and unexplained build failures, to building perfectly but being completely unbootable. That said, for those of you that don't have computers from 2003 will LOVE the updates in beta 3. The installer has been reworked so that it, ahem, works. Additionally a number of tweaks to improve updating and system customization have been made. We have shiny new WiFi drivers, shiny new video card drivers, and all your favorite password crackers updated and ready to rock out." Here is the full release announcement. Download: pentoo-x86_64-2012.0_beta3.iso (1,614MB, SHA512). |

Development Release: Pentoo 2012.0 Beta 2 |
|
Michael Zanetta has announced the availability of the second beta release of Pentoo 2012.0, a Gentoo-based distribution with a collection of utilities for penetration testing: "It's my favorite time of year again, the really short lul between Defcon and Derbycon. I've used my free time to polish up all the bug reports from our Defcon beta release and kick out a shiny new release. Many surprises await you, but I'm not building up a bug-fix beta more than I already have. New things: default hardened setup, torrent download. Live to hack, hack to live. If my dedication isn't obvious, today is my anniversary but here I am uploading betas, etc. You will not find a team of volunteers more dedicated than ours, so test the release and submit bugs so we can make it even better for you." Here is the brief release announcement with a link to the project's bug reporting page. Interested beta testers can download the live DVD image via BitTorrent: pentoo-x86_64-2012.0_beta2.iso (1,484MB).
