# About
---------------------------------------------

Pentoo is a penetration testing LiveCD distribution based on Gentoo. It features a lot of tools for auditing and testing a network, from scanning and discovering to exploiting vulnerabilities.

You can view the list of all available tools here .

We currently have many differences between Pentoo and Mpentoo. It is normally noted in parenthesis when a feature is available only in one version. For now, The main differences are that mpentoo uses unionfs and use Enlightenment as a window manager.

# Features
---------------------------------------------

Below are the main features of this distribution :

• Nessus, Metasploit and Fingerprints db upgradable ! You can put them in RAM or on a usb stick.
• You can save stuff on a usb pen-drive or a harddisk like : /etc, /root, Nessus plugins, SecurityForest's Exploit Tree and all fingerprints (the last only in pentoo)
• It's modular (mpentoo), you can customize it by adding modules just like in slax (only in mpentoo for now).
• It is faster : based on the Gentoo distribution, all the code as been optimized. I choosed to optimize the code for pentium3 cpu as I think that intel based cpu are more used than AMD's ones. Of course, this will not break the compatibility with AMD proc, it will just run faster on pentium-3 or 4 CPUs.
