Pentoo 2009.0 final is there

Friday 4 December 2009 by Grimmlin, Zero Chaos

And we could eventually make it before 2010...

So, nights after nights, we polished this version, and it looks really nice so far. We did so many things that it’s hard to do a Changelog, but you can get the list here

The most notable changes:

  • New kernel 2.6.31.6 with aufs and squashfs-lzma
  • New wifi stack 2.6.32_rc7 with injection and fragmentation patches
  • Qemu with virt-manager so you can play some VMs in there.
  • Lots of tools update (msf, exploit-db, kismet, sqlmap, firefox & plugins)
  • Some tools additions (airpwn, wapiti, pppd) and some graphics fixes (nvidia, intel)

You can find it in the download section

We also want to thanks aricon, jensp and Da_FBi for all their contributions.

Pentoo 2009 beta aka "The longest build"

Monday 17 August 2009 by Grimmlin, Zero Chaos

I know we’ve been sooooooo long to throw this out, but we finaly managed to get something working and here it is, twice, as we’re releasing both a 32 and 64 bit version.

I really would like to thank Zero Chaos for kicking my butt and keeping us going for the past years, otherwise I would have dropped a long time ago if i’ve been alone. That guy did an impressive work.

Kudos also goes out to :

  • Melissa Holmes for the awesome graphics.
  • Portswigger for letting us include burpsuite in the build
  • Chris and Joe from LSO for helping us improve pentoo.
  • All the beta testers. Thank you guys, your job means a lot to us!
  • Gentoo and all their developers, for making such a great distro

Now, you can head over to the download section, and start feeling a genuine pentesting pleasure.
