This excellent bootable live CD Linux distribution comes from the merger of Whax and Auditor. It boasts a huge variety of Security and Forensics tools and provides a rich development environment. User modularity is emphasized so the distribution can be easily customized by the user to include personal scripts, additional tools, customized kernels, etc.

Great distro! Recommended for penetration tester. It will takes a less time for your job. And it's free and always be.
Thanks Mati Aharoni, good job ;]
Nice distro. Good idea. Though way too buggy. Better to use it in a virtual machine.
I got everything I need in this distribution. I like it.
Backtrack 5 is simply too buggy! Recommended if you want to spend your time in patching it.
You can't simply ask for more in one distribution. It has everything!
This on a USB drive has saved me so many times and has also proven as an easy way to hammer the point home when doing a physical penetration test.
Simply the best
