Damn Vulnerable Linux 1.5 “Infectious Disease” was released and I have screens from a VirtualBox install. I didn’t see a changelog anywhere, but it looks like many things are updated. All that shows on their blog at the moment is this:

Release date: 01/26/2009. Fixed many bugs (e.g. wrong postgres path), added several tools.

Many interesting things you can learn by using this distro. Just a quick tip, you don’t need to run xconf before startx with Vbox… it’ll break.

This would be a great distro for anyone starting out or just wanting to brush up on any number of not so whitehat skills. Grab a torrent of Damn Vulnerable Linux 1.5 “Infectious Disease” here and be sure to seed for as long as you can when you’re done.

Nmap 4.85BETA1 New Features:

Ncat

A much-improved reimplementation of the venerable Netcat tool which adds modern features and makes use of Nmap’s efficient networking libraries.

Ndiff

Compares the results of two Nmap scans and describes the new/removed hosts, newly open/cosed ports, changed operating systems, etc.

And of course many months of work
