Thanks to Beth Lynn for the talk yesterday -- I happened to be reading
about Linux Live Security CDs and found Auditor which looks like it is
similar to Knoppix-STD but with a more active development cycle.

About 
The Auditor security collection is a Live-System based on KNOPPIX. With
no installation whatsoever, the analysis platform is started directly
from the CD-Rom and is fully accessible within minutes. Independent of
the hardware in use, the Auditor security collection offers a
standardised working environment, so that the build-up of know-how and
remote support is made easier. Even during the planning and development
stages, our target was to achieve an excellent user-friendliness
combined with an optimal toolset. Professional open-source programs
offer you a complete toolset to analyse your safety, byte for byte. In
order to become quickly proficient within the Auditor security
collection, the menu structure is supported by recognized phases of a
security check. (Foot-printing, analysis, scanning, wireless,
brute-forcing, cracking). By this means, you instinctively find the
right tool for the appropriate task. In addition to the approx. 300
tools, the Auditor security collection contains further background
information regarding the standard configuration and passwords, as well
as word lists from many different areas and languages with approx. 64
million entries. Current productivity tools such as web browser, editors
and graphic tools allow you to create or edit texts and pictures for
reports, directly within the Auditor security platform. Many tools were
adapted, newly developed or converted from other system platforms, in
order to make as many current auditing tools available as possible on
one CD-ROM. Tools like Wellenreiter and Kismet were equipped with an
automatic hardware identification, thus avoiding irritating and annoying
configuration of the wireless cards.
