Trinux is a micro-Linux distribution that boots from 2-3 floppies or a FAT
partition and provides a comprehensive set of Open Source network security
tools useful for monitoring and mapping TCP/IP networks. Trinux runs
entirely in RAM, transparently converting any i386 PC with at least
16MB of memory into a powerful network security management workstation.
NICs supported by Linux kernel 2.0.36 should be compatible and
experimental support is available for laptops/PCMCIA.
Due to its modular design, users can easily create customized tool-sets on
non-UNIX platforms simply by copying Trinux package files to a MS-DOS
formatted floppy. The ultimate goal of the Trinux project is to provide a
complete set of Open Source security solutions for network
mapping/vulnerability assessment, IDS/network monitoring, firewalls, high
performance secure web servers, and network deception/honey pots. See the
web page for formal development objectives.
Trinux is currently maintained by less than a dozen developers but
welcomes the assistance of members of the Linux/Open Source/security
community. If you are interested in contributing to this project send
me an email after stopping by the Trinux web page.
Trinux is released under the terms of GPL.
