Primitive Linux malware found in the wild:-

Still nasty though.

Thanks for that url, Mark, that's a heck of a big pile of useful stuff all in one place!

I found some nice links for Linux live CD ISOs. One is a blog with a section on Forensics CDs. The other is a large list of ISOs, among which are some security distros and also many specialized CDs on eveything from accounting to metal-working.

Here is the page of links for forensics stuff.

This is the Live CD List.

Thanks for the article, Ashley. I often end up going, willy-nilly, to linuxforums.org for answers when Googling for something. I did look up MAS Media, Inc., and there seemed to be precious little about them. Most of what IS there has to do with whois info and that. What do you know about them?

Ashley,
Briefly, I started with Slackware 96(tm), tried Red Hat, used Debian for a short time, was with SuSe for a long time, and finally settled on Debian and Ubuntu.
We have to use RHEL in my business, because you have to run Oracle on it. But I built 3 squids on Debian Etch this year, and set up a snort IDS on Debian.
I inherited qmail and djbdns in this job, also on RHEL, and so I have accept Red Hat as a fact of life.

In my last job, the Hearst corporate types tried to force us to go all RH, but I successfully argued that our web farm had to stay on Debian (we are highly-customized, need the freedom to compile our own kernels, etc.).

So I guess I'm a Debian stiff after a long love affair with SuSe. There's probably a joke in there somewhere about all my distros having girls' names, but I'll leave that to the imagination.

I have visited the sites for the distros you've mentioned, and they are indeed interesting additions to the field. I especially like the wallpaper at the top of the elivecd.org home page! I want to try Elive in Virtualbox now. If I like it as much as you have, I might set up a workstation on the job.

Ceri,
I actually posted some material on your other social network, "Jolly Penguin". Apache and sendmail stuff.

I put this page together as a guide for anyone who is considering migrating to the Linux operating system. It is designed as a simple and straightforward introduction to the Linux command line. It is a work in progress and further instalments will appear in the coming weeks.

I am in the process of transferring all my Linux material from http://www.furtivepenguin.net to http://lxenduser.blogspot.com/. As the transfer progresses the new (old) material will become available in the RSS feed on this page. Despite the enormous quantities of garbage and splogs to be found on blogger.com I still believe it to be one of the most convenient and efficient blogging platforms available. I have enjoyed running the b2evolution blogging engine on my own server but just dont have the time to concern myself with upgrades and regular database backups.

I accept no responsibility for the outcome should anyone decide to experiment with any of the scripts on the blog. Some of them are deliciously buggy. Some of them work perfectly (almost). None of them will harm your system but be warned ...they may cause amusement and intense guffawing and chuckling.
