	SLAX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		WHAX, a name derived from 'Whitehat' and 'SLAX', was a distribution designed for security tasks.
		WHAX emerged from Whoppix, a Knoppix-based security distro.
		WHAX made it possible to test and verify the security of a network from many computers located in various places.

	Whax - Security Management, Assessment, Incident Response product reviews - SC Magazine ASIA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Whax used to be called Whoppix, and was based on Knoppix, the popular live CD Linux system which is used for many other tools, including forensic toolkits.
		Whax boots into a graphical KDE environment, but until recently, the system used the lightweight XFCE, which some might prefer because it is definitely faster than KDE.
		However, Whax and Auditor (another pen-test live CD) are set to merge this year under the name BackTrack, and this relative lack of information might be simply an early sign of preparation for this.

	gnuman.com - Whax Stand-alone Penetration-testing Live distro Review
		Whax isn't long out of beta stage, but there are already plenty of reviews popping up.
		Whax and Whoppix are both designed with penetration-testing in mind; penetration-testing is testing a computer or a network for penetrable vulnerabilities, that is to test the security of a computer or a network of computers.
		Slax (and therefore Whax) uses.mo modules, which are simply placed in a directory on the cd and detected during startup.

		What is even cooler about Whax is that you can make it a virtual OS with Vmware.
		Whax can be run on VMware from an ISO on the desktop.
		The elusive setting that initially stopped this Whax from working on VMware was the "acceleration" feature that is turned on by default on some versions of VMware.

		My point is, all of the tools found in Auditor and Whax are open source and can be installed on any Linux distro.
		I know you can install Whax to the hard drive, but it doesn't come with all the functionality of Core 4.
		Well, what is to stop an insider from bringing in a live CD like Whax and booting up their workstation with it.

	J!NX Forums - Triple boot -Whax, Mandrake, XP
		I went to the slax installer and it gives me three options upon where to install Whax, they are...
		Went back into Whax and it gave me another option, /mnt/hdc8, so I figured this is what I just created and installed to that, as I suspected, my current boot loader only sees mandrake and XP.
		I read that it needs to be able to find the file, i searched for it on /mnt/ and it doesn't have Whax listed, when I installed whax (from the whax livecd) it says that it installed to /mnt/hdc8/ but that was on a different partition, is it supposed to be in the /mnt/ file?

	Security: Review: Whax Linux Penetration Test Live CD
		Of course, any self-respecting tester would want his own suite of tools as well, so to be fully functional, a serious penetration-testing CD must also include a script and tested instructions for remastering the CD.
		While there are other Live CD distributions dedicated to pen-testing, the reviewer says that "given the modularity or Whax, it is the easiest live-cd distribution to update".
		Depending on the flexibility of building a custom CD, Whax may be the one to choose.

		I recently installed WHAX 3.0 (A distro based on SLAX) on a computer after the request of my boss for a security-based project.
		I don't know much about WHAX (but googled for it, found the homepage, and poked around the forums....looks sweet, I'm going to slap it on a spare laptop here after I replace a defective hd in it).
		Use some of the whax scanners to scan yourself to see what all shows up, but make sure you read the instructions on using the scanners since most by default only scan a certain subset of ports.

		I prefer WHAX, but there are many, many live CD distros available tailored to specific purposes.
		Beginning with version 3.0, Whoppix was renamed to WHAX and its base changed from KNOPPIX to the more modular SLAX live CD.
		In addition to the pen testing functionality, a live CD can be used for retrieving files from a busted host, forensics and of course, offers you a portable trusted computing platform that you can boot to where ever you may be.

		If you haven't already, check out Knoppix STD, F.I.R.E, and WHAX for some pretty good live CDs to mess around with.
		WHAX is geared towards pen-testing, F.I.R.E towards forensics, and STD has a little of both.
		Already have them got them off of frozentech.
