INSERT (Inside Security Rescue Toolkit)

INSERT, or the Inside Security Rescue Toolkit, is a super handy tool for disaster recovery and network analysis. Think of it as a Swiss Army knife for your tech problems! It runs from a tiny CD-ROM that’s about the size of a credit card and is really just a lean version of Knoppix. This makes it perfect for hardware detection and all sorts of cool features like fluxbox, emelfm, links-hacked, ssh, tcpdump, nmap, chntpwd, and more!

Awesome Features of INSERT

What’s great about INSERT is that it gives you full read-write support for NTFS partitions using captive. Plus, it has ClamAV for virus scanning with an up-to-date signature database and an easy-to-use GUI. Oh, and did I mention it can even help you boot over a network?
