NetSecL OS
The project started as a Linux distribution spread among friends and soon enough was spread in Internet by the name of ISlack. The focus of the Linux distribution was on security. Initially only configuration was hardened later on GrSecurity began playing a big role in the Linux distribution. The distribution used tgz (Slackware Linux) Packages, the current version of NetSecL Linux uses rpm package management and is based on OpenSuse. Penetration testing became also one of the focuses of the Linux distribution – the distribution includes well know application as Metasploit, Wireshark, Etherape, OpenVas, Nmap as well as many console applications for penetration testing.

Release notes
NetSecL 3.2 comes with a brand new LXDE which increased dramatically the
performance experience, we closed many bugs and also gained more
compatibility to OpenSuse 11.4 – most packages are 11.4 compatible.
GrSecurity kernel is updated to 2.6.32.8 please check installation
instructions if you wish to use GrSecurity. And here is the work we have
done:
- Ext4 issue with GrSecurity is resolved
- booting in VM with new GrSecurity resolved
- New Metasploit
- Firefox 5
- Updated Exploit-db repository
- GrSecurity Kernel – locked from zypper – you can update the whole
system without worrying
- Snort-inline reintegrated (get snort rules and change them to drop
– if you use the advanced firewall)
- Size of the ISO smaller with 200 MB this allowed us to have a sub
project NetSecL Toolset a minimal VM with console, webshell and all
pentesting tools!
