Heorot.net provides funding and support for the Open Source De-ICE.net 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 is detailed in the new book: “Penetration Tester’s Open Source Toolkit, Vol. 2,” (Chapter 9) released by Syngress Publishing in October, 2007. In addition, it can be found referenced in “Metasploit Toolkit for Penetration Testing, Exploit Development, and Vulnerability Research” (Appendix B) published by Syngress in September, 2007.
