nUbuntu or Network Ubuntu was a project to take the existing
Ubuntu
operating system LiveCD and Full Installer and remaster it with tools needed for
penetration testing servers and
networks. The main idea is to keep Ubuntu's ease of use and mix it with popular penetration testing tools. Besides usage for network and server testing, nUbuntu will be made to be a desktop distribution for advanced Linux users.[
