Plan-B is a hard drive-free Linux environment that can be booted up.
Plan-B is a powerful software that allows you to boot into a Linux environment without the need for a hard drive. It runs entirely in RAM or from the CD, based on a basic, stripped installation of Red Hat Linux and the fundamental workings of the SuperRescue CD.
One of the most impressive things about Plan-B is the list of tools and utilities included for various projects. This includes forensics/data recovery, system/network analysis and security scanning, temporary network device/server, IDS/NIDS system, and network status report creation. With this software, you have everything you need to tackle a wide range of tasks, all in one place.
The reason for the creation of Plan-B came about due to the lack of similar projects that catered to multiple areas of the broad spectrum that the creator was looking for. They found that other projects, such as SuperRescue CD, Biatchux (F.I.R.E.), Trinux, and Knoppix, were geared toward only a single area. The author of Syslinux, Isolinux, and zisofs, H. Peter Anvin, created the first project that was close to the concept the creator of Plan-B had in mind. Therefore, they chose it as the foundation for this CD.
While searching for an "All-in-One" solution, the creator of Plan-B decided that building one themselves was the only way to get what they wanted. With Plan-B, you have a comprehensive software package that can handle a wide variety of tasks without the need for a hard drive or complex setup. If you're looking for a versatile tool that can help you solve a range of problems, Plan-B is definitely worth a look.
