Network Security Toolkit

If you’re looking for a security toolkit to test for vulnerabilities at your home at office, look no further than the Network Security Toolkit. It’s a bootable CD that fires up a Fedora installation packed with all the security tools you can think of. Here’s how they describe it:

What we find rather fascinating with NST is that we can transform most x86 systems (Pentium II and above) into a system designed for network traffic analysis, intrusion detection, network packet generation, wireless network monitoring, a virtual system service server, or a sophisticated network/host scanner. This can all be done without disturbing or modifying any underlying sub-system disk. NST can be up and running on a typical x86 notebook in less than a minute by just rebooting with the NST CD. The notebook’s hard disk will not be altered in any way.

I wonder if it’s possible to get it running off a flash drive, would be much easier to carry around.
