Dan,

It sounds like you mean you want a pre-installed OS with penetration testing
and auditing tools? You may want to look into some of the security-oriented
linux distros which may suit your needs. They would provide you with the
"tricked-out" tools and, in the case of the Live CD distros, wouldn't
necessarily need to replace your existing daily-use OS of choice. Some of
the more security-focused distributions are quite well put together with a
full complement of forensics, pen-test, and auditing tools.

Add my favorite pen-test LiveCD distros:
Whoppix: http://www.whoppix.net/
and Necromantux (Spanish): http://necromantux.gpul.org/

And you can even use them with VMWare, if you are using Windows.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
