Free live cd distros for Pentest, Recovery& Forensics

Penetration testing is the security-oriented probing of a computer system or network to seek out vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit.
A distro is a unix-like operating system comprising software components such as the Linux kernel, the GNU toolchain, and assorted free and open source software.
I've listed 20 top distros used for Pentest, recovery & forensics .

1. BackTrack

BackTrack is the result of the merging of two Innovative Penetration Testing live Linux distributions Whax(formely WHoppix). and Auditor, combining the best features from both distributions, and paying special attention to small details, this is probably the best version of either distributions to ever come out.

Based on SLAX (Slackware), BackTrack provides user modularity. This means the distribution can be easily customised by the user to include personal scripts, additional tools, customised kernels, etc.

http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/BackTrack

2. Operator

Operator is a complete Linux (Debian) distribution that runs from a single bootable CD and runs entirely in RAM. The Operator contains an extensive set of Open Source network security tools that can be used for monitoring and discovering networks. This virtually can turn any PC into a network security pen-testing device without having to install any software. Operator also contains a set of computer forensic and data recovery tools that can be used to assist you in data retrieval on the local system.

3. PHLAK

PHLAK or [P]rofessional [H]acker?s [L]inux [A]ssault [K]it is a modular live security Linux distribution (a.k.a LiveCD). PHLAK comes with two light gui?s (fluxbox and XFCE4), many security tools, and a spiral notebook full of security documentation. PHLAK is a derivative of Morphix, created by Alex de Landgraaf.
