The Fedora Security Spin
The Fedora Security Spin is a Fedora Linux Live CD to provide a safe and secure test-environment for working on security-auditing, forensics and penetration-testing, coupled with all the Fedora-Security features and tools. It was originaly build by Luke Macken, Adam John Miller and is now owned by Joerg Simon and is accepted as a feature for the upcoming F13.
The Security Spin is maintained by a community of Security Testers and Developers. It comes with the clean and fast LXDE Desktop Enviroment and a customized menu to have all the instruments one may need to follow a proper test-path on security testing[1]or to rescue a broken system. With the read-write rootfs, it is possible to install software while the livecd is running. The Fedora liveusb-creator provides an overlay feature to put the security-spin on an usb-stick so that the user can install and update software - and can save his test-results permanently.
Why another Security Distro?
The answer here is simple. Most other security distros have a huge (or bloated) DE which can slow down performance, FSL comes with a lightweight and fast LXDE environment and nicely planned and easy to use Menu.
= Benefits
- A Toolset für Administrators in Case of Emergency
- A stable platform for teaching security along Security Classes in Universities and Organisations like the ISECOM so People learn about Fedora through these Classes
- Showcase for all Security-Features
- A Toolset for proper Security-Testing
- a complete Repair/Rescue System - with tools not contained on the
other LiveCD's to rescue your System
- gather interested People to package new upstreams for this spin
- Marketing Instrument!
- There are Industry Partners who are interested to contribute
- and also contained in this presentation SecuritySpin and the OSSTMM
