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.
