PHLAK is a modular live security Linux distribution. It is a derivative of Morphix. PHLAK hopes to develop the perfect toolkit for all security professionals. There are two flavors: FatMan- large CD-based iso, LittleBoy- slimmed USB pendrive version.
This was a very nice project but now is dead.
great documents
The project will continue to stay in the hands of the founders until it can be re-birthed in the future. We appreciate Mark Reaves for his desired to take over the project, however we are are unable to hand over the project. Development will continue one day, but right now the most important thing to do is take on fatherhood and re-visit PHLAK at a later date.
I hope you will all welcome the newest addition to the PHLAK project. Welcome LittleBoy (aka mini14). Can I get an OO-RAH?! I developed this version with USB pen drives in mind. You can boot LittleBoy completely from USB pen drives, as long as the computer supports USB booting. It is small (currently 195 MB), lightweight (fluxbox GUI only), fast (thanks to USB 2.0), but still packs a punch (almost all security tools still included)! The goal here is to refine our tool collection and other package selections to make LittleBoy the perfect size for a 256 MB USB pen drive. Later on maybe we can refine it even further for a tiny security distro, ~50 MB.
