I took a copy, to play around with, as it seemed to have a lot of cool tools on there, some of which I had seen before, lots of which I hadn’t. This looked like a hacker’s distro.

The name is BackTrack. I didn’t look much into it, until I was watching Hak5 on Revision3 this morning, and saw a review on Maltego, which just so happens  to come with BackTrack.

So I started playing around with BT3 (after an easy upgrade), and I love it. It’s so useful.
This is a Network Security / Sysadmin must-have distro. Every tool you could possibly need, is already there, on the disc.

Maltego is pro. It’s basically an Identity lookup tool. You input a person’s details, whatever you happen to know about them, name/email/location/phone etc. and then it will look up all the information it can find on said person.

I found some very old email accounts of mine, linked to forum posts and profiles, just as old. I think I may have also discovered Kevin Rose’s personal e-mail account. No luck with Bill Gates though. ^^
