Devil-Linux |
| Devil-Linux was created by Heiko Zuerker, a US-based German IT manager. It is a specialist Linux distribution designed primarily to be used as a CD-based firewall or router. The goal of Devil-Linux is to have a small, customizable and secure Linux installation. Of course, the main advantage of a CD-based firewall is that the files on the CD cannot be modified by an intruder - if you think somebody managed to break into your system, just reboot and the data in the RAM-disk are clean again. The other advantage is that it only takes 15 - 30 minutes to have your firewall up and running.
