It provides a familiar user interface, with popular open source applications, such as the Mozilla Firefox web browser, ISO Master, XMMS audio player, and SMPlayer video player. Uses the KDE Plasma desktop environmentīooting into the KDE environment, with persistent mode enabled to save your session, seams to be the best choice for the new Wifislax user. When pressing on one of the two kernel options for running the live environment, users will be presented with many other options, including Wifislax with KDE (persistent or not), Wifislax with Xfce (persistent or not), text mode, copy to RAM, safe graphics mode, and ACPI Off. For example, it includes two entries for running the live environment with a normal or PAE kernel (useful if you have more than 4GB of RAM), a hardware detection tool, a memory testing tool, and support for qwerty keyboards. The boot menu is quite different from the ones used in other Linux distributions. It integrates various unofficial network drivers, directly into the Linux kernel provided by the Slackware project. It is distributed as a single Live CD ISO image that can run on both 64-bit and 32-bit CPUs. In addition, it contains a large number of security and forensics tools, which transforms it into a pentesting (penetration testing) distro. The system provides out-of-the-box support for a wide range of wireless and wired network cards. It’s main goal is to support the latest Wi-Fi technologies.
Although most tools are operated by a command console, graphic launchers, translated into English for a better understanding and usage, are also included.Wifislax is an open source Linux operating system based and inspired by the Slackware Linux distribution. Wifislax brings a wide range of possibilities when testing different aspects of WiFi security, access passwords quality, MAC change, wireless configuration, automatic connection, and networks cookbook, decryption, Bluetooth scanner, etc.Īs it is developed for BackTrack, Wifislax includes all the tools in this distribution, besides broadening those related to wireless and Bluetooth, in terms of number and functionality. Besides, both menus and tools have been translated into Spanish, which is a very important matter when being operated by beginner users.īackTrack tools are organized in these groups:
One of the most interesting and useful aspects of Wifislax is the set of incorporated drivers which support the chipsets in the wireless cards used in the devices, for instance, the ipw2200 drivers, the r73 in the USB cards with chipset ratlink, or the rt61 in the new PCI, which lack of support in other distributions.
