    How to Create a Custom Live CD for Secure Remote Incident Handling in the Enterprise

    How to Create a Custom Live CD for Secure Remote Incident Handling in the Enterprise Abstract This paper will document a process to create a custom Live CD for secure remote incident handling on Windows and Linux systems. The process will include how to configure SSH for remote access to the Live CD even when running behind a NAT device. The combination of customization and secure remote access will make this process valuable to incident handlers working in enterprise environments with limited remote IT support.

These drivers need to provide entry points for user-space applications and system tools to access the hardware.

An alternative mechanism is then presented. It is an alternative to conventional disc-based char- acter and block special devices. Kernel device drivers can register devices by name rather than de- vice numbers, and these device entries will appear in the file-system automatically. 1.1 Device numbers Devfs provides an immediate benefit to system ad- ministrators, as it implements a device naming scheme which is more convenient for large systems Conventional Unix systems have the concept of a (providing a topology-based name-space) and small \device number".

Within the kernel, this device number is Device driver authors can benefit from devfs by used to refer to the hardware and driver instance.

    Building a Self-Contained Auto-Configuring Linux System On

    Building a self-contained auto-configuring Linux system on an iso9660 filesystem Klaus Knopper [email protected] ¡ http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/ Abstract Bootable CD-Roms with a small Linux rescue system in business card size [1, 2] or regular size live demonstration CDs [3] are becoming popular re- cently. Also, some of the commercial Linux distributors as well as non-profit Open Source groups are developing self-running demos that are preconfigured for certain hardware, or contain a configuration frontend. Knoppix (Knopper’s *nix) is an attempt to not only create a fully featured rescue/demo system on a single CD, but also to unburden the user from the task of hardware identi- fication and configuration of drivers, devices and X11 for his or her specific hardware. The resulting product is supposed to be a platform CD with a stable GNU/Linux base system, that can be used to customize static installations for a specific purpose.
