What is the Network Security Toolkit?

The Network Security Toolkit is a bootable CDROM (Live CD) based on Fedora 11 with additional network security tools installed and ready to run. Before each release, the developers strive to make certain that the released ISO image contains the latest security patches and fixes for Fedora 11 and the additional network security tools.

The Network Security Toolkit can also be installed to a hard disk partition or run from within a VMware virtual machine.
