Security Onion Live CD

Doug Burks has created an IDS Live DVD running Ubuntu. Pre-installed are the following packages:
Snort
Squil
Suricata
Xplico
nmap
scapy
hping
netcat
tcpreplay and others.
The .iso can also be installed on a USB flash drive, giving you an IDS-on-a-stick. Very handy.
I'm looking forward to trying it out on the security test box I have at home.

Doug's page is at http://securityonion.blogspot.com. There you'll find a download link, a presentation on Security Onion and a FAQ, as well as his posts on network security.
