REMnux
Lo bueno de tener un sistema operativo con código libre es que podemos adaptarlo a necesidades específicas y crear distribuciones como las que ya os comenté hace unos meses en el artículo: Linux para Niños.

Hoy os presento una creada por el experto en seguridad Lenny Zeltser. Se trata de REMnux, una distribución que incluye herramientas de análisis de Malware.

Está basada en Ubuntu y bien descrita en su pagina oficial, donde muestran las herramientas incluidas y las técnicas de análisis recomendadas para estudiar los diferentes tipos de archivo que estén bajo sospecha.

La necesidad de tener un “laboratorio aislado y especializado” para este tipo de trabajo es fundamental, ya que muchas veces la infección puede afectar a varios equipos conectados multiplicando el problema que se quería eliminar.

In the last weeks I was playing with many of the challengues of Yashira (If you don't know it, I recommend you to take a look over it as it is one of the biggest spanish web of wargames AFIK) and one of the challenge was to crack a TrueCrypt file. I knew about the existence of that application but I never used it... until now.

So I decided to download TrueCrypt and play around with the program to get familiar with it. After read the documentation and some reviews I realize that it is a very secure piece of software that implements many high level features so I knew I will not be easy, at least in theory.

I knew about the existence of that application but I never used it... until now.
