Damn Vulnerable Linux or DVL is a GNU/Linux distribution distributed as a Live DVD as a tool for information security students' use and penetration testing. [3]

History

The DVL distribution origins are disputed. Some sources such as DistroWatch, Linux.com

Tools

Damn Vulnerable Linux provides users with easy access to a comprehensive collection of "ill-configured, outdated, and exploitable software that makes it vulnerable to attacks ranging from older and easily breakable versions of several daemons, as well as tools available to help compile, debug, and break applications running on these services". DVL is a Live CD available as a 1,8 GB ISO. This functionality allows users to boot DVL directly from portable media without requiring installation, though permanent installation to hard disk or even a Virtual Machineis also an option.

A large collection of exploitable software is also available as well as more commonplace software such as Web Browsing Software.
