Penetration Testing: un Knopix , PHLAK or other bootable linux from Hard drive.

[Ali Khalighi <ali.k () firstpc ca>]

Hello Bryan,
Run Knopix , PHLAK or other bootable linux from Hard drive.

    I have experience with Phlak & Knopix.
    Knopix 4.2 is much more better than Phlak. There is no need for
    installation , both are bootable CDs, but I hate CDs. So I could
    run knopix & Phlak normally from my hard drive using following
    trick :

    1) make a virtual CD drive (Using Nero , Alchohole or any other
    software)
    2) make an image of Knopix or Phlak CD
    3) Load the Image inside Virtual CD drive
    4) Use VMWARE or MS Virtual Machine and make a linux machine
    5) Boot the Virtual Linux from Virtual CD Drive.


    Enjoy ! It's too fast , no need for CD ROM , Better performance ,
    always available.

    But Knopix is much more better than phlak.(from my point of view)
