After the year of development of Live-Distribution Release Release NST 34 (Network Security Toolkit), designed to analyze network security and monitoring its operation. The size of the loading ISO image (x86_64) is 4.8 GB. For Fedora Linux users, a special repository has been prepared, which makes it possible to establish all the developments created within the NST project in the already installed system. The distribution was built on the basis of Fedora 34 and allowing additional packages from external repositories compatible with Fedora Linux.
The distribution is included in the distribution a large selection of applications related to network security (for example: Wireshark, NTOP, Nessus, Snort , NMAP, Kismet, TCPTrack, Etherape, Nsttracroute, Ettercap, etc.). To control the process of checking security and automating the call of various utilities, a special web-interface has been prepared, which also integrated WEB-frontand for the Wireshark network analyzer. The graphic environment of the distribution is based on FluxBox.
