Heorot.net

Heorot.net provides funding and support for the Open Source De-ICE Pentest LiveCDs project. We present some of the various resources and links available that support or discuss this project. Intended to provide legal targets in which to practice and learn PenTest skills, these LiveCDs are real servers that contain real-world challenges. Designed by professional penetration testers, each disk provides a learning opportunity to explore the world of penetration testing. Intended for beginners and professionals alike.

This project has been presented at security conferences across the US, and the LiveCDs are used extensively in the new book: “Professional Penetration Testing: Creating and Operating a Formal Hacking Lab” (2009). In addition, it can be found referenced in “Penetration Tester’s Open Source Toolkit, Vol. 2,” (Chapter 9), “Metasploit Toolkit for Penetration Testing, Exploit Development, and Vulnerability Research” (Appendix B) published by Syngress in September, 2007.
