Trinux is a Linux distribution that utilizes a ramdisk for booting and can be loaded from either a single floppy or CD-ROM.
Trinux is a Linux distribution that offers powerful network security tools. It is a ramdisk-based operating system that can be booted from a single floppy or CD-ROM, and it loads its packages from a variety of sources including HTTP/FTP servers, FAT/NTFS/ISO filesystems, and additional floppies.
This distribution contains the latest versions of popular Open Source network security tools for a wide range of tasks including vulnerability scanning, port scanning, packet sniffing, network monitoring, packet construction, intrusion detection, sniffer detection, active/passive OS fingerprinting, session-hijacking, backup/recovery, and computer forensics. It also supports Perl, PHP, and Python scripting languages.
In addition to offering these powerful security tools, Trinux also provides support for managing remote Trinux boxes using the secure OpenSSH protocol. Trinux is an excellent choice for anyone who wants the power of Linux security tools without having to download, compile, install, and update a complete suite of security tools that are not typically found in mainstream distributions or requiring a full-blown Linux installation.
Trinux will boot on any i486 or better with at least 12-16 megabytes of RAM, depending on the number of packages loaded, and supports many common Ethernet cards. The default kernel provides hardware support, and additional NICs are supported via Linux kernel modules.
This distribution was developed using Slackware 7.1 and supports the latest 2.2.x kernels and glibc 2.1.x. Trinux 0.8x supports Linux kernel 2.4.x. The Trinux project was first released in April 1998, with versions up through 0.51 based on Debian 1.31 binaries that were linked against libc5. Version 0.6x was built using RedHat Linux 5.2.
Trinux utilizes Busybox to replace many common UNIX utilities and is released under the terms of the GNU Public License. All in all, Trinux is a comprehensive network security toolset that packs a powerful punch into a small package.
