OWASP Live CD Description

An open source security operating system OWASP Live CD is a project that collects some of the best open source security projects in a single CD. Web developers, testers and security professionals can boot from this Live CD and have access to a full security testing suite. This allows its users to test for various security issues in web applications and web sites.The OWASP Live CD also contains documentation and an interactive learning environment (Web Goat) to enhance users web application security knowledge. This presentation will cover the current state of the OWASP Live CD as well as the plans for future developments. The OWASP Live CD is free for commercial or non­commercial use.Project GoalsThe overarching goal for this project is to make application security tools and documentation easily available. I see this as a great complement to OWASP's goal to make application security visible.The project has several other goals going forward: 1. Provide a showcase for great OWASP tools and documentation 2. Provide the best, freely distributable application security tools in an easy to use package 3. Ensure that the tools provided are as easy to use as possible. 4. Continue to add documentation and tools to the OWASP Live CD 5. Continue to document how to use the tools and how the tool modules where created. 6. Align the tools provided with the OWASP Testing Guide There were also some design goals, particularly, this should be a live CD which is* easy for the users to keep updated* easy for the project lead to keep updated* easy to produce releases (I'm thinking quarterly releases going forward)* focused on just web application testing - not general Pen Testing. (For general Pen Testing, the gold standard is Backtrack.)
