@ -8,6 +8,12 @@ Pentoo is a Live CD and Live USB designed for penetration testing and security a
It's basically a Gentoo, a Linux-based operating system and a meta-distribution, which means that it is built automatically from source code and is customized with the functionality that you want to have and without the unnecessary features that you want to avoid, with lots of customized tools, customized kernel, and much more...
Pentoo comes in many flavors and it is important to choose wisely. Right now, you have two main choices:
Choice 1: hardened or default
You want hardened. No seriously, you want hardened. When was the last time you thought to yourself "I need less security in my pen-testing environment?" In all seriousness, nearly everything works in the hardened builds, and it is vastly more stable than anything you have ever used before with the added bonus of being more secure. You only want default if you are doing exploit against yourself, or you need opengl support. OpenCL and CUDA work fine in the hardened release, but right now, opengl support still eludes us. If you cannot live without opengl acceleration pick default, otherwise, you really want hardened.
