Tired of keeping up with dozens of CDs and flash drives loaded with various Live operating systems and applications? I will be introducing the Katana: Portable Multi-Boot Security Suite; which brings many of the best live operating systems and portable applications together onto a single flash drive. Katana includes live distros like Backtrack, the Ultimate Boot CD, UBCD4Win, Ophcrack, and Trinity Rescue Kit as well as hundreds of portable applications like Wireshark, Angry IP, The Sleuth Kit, ClamAV, and OllyDBG. I will cover how Katana was made, what tools are included, how to add additional distributions and applications, and how to use Katana for every day needs.
