The GNU/Linux community is blessed with 100+ distributions and we do our best to cover only the best of them on FossMint so if you haven’t checked out titles like the Best Linux Distros for Laptops in 2019, 5 Operating Systems for the IoT, and the Top 10 GNU/Linux Distros for Privacy & Security then you probably should. Today, our attention is Linux distros that are perfect for running from USB sticks (and potentially other portable external storage devices) which means that we’ll be concentrating on portable Operating Systems. These are Operating Systems that are designed to be minimalist in their resource requirements i.e. they can run on hardware with little secondary storage space and/or little RAM. Portable Operating Systems also typically come in small enough sizes to fit on USB drives and CDs without losing the quality of their performance even when running on old machines. With that being said, here’s my list of the best portable Linux distributions. 1. MX Linux. MX Linux is an open-source antiX and MEPIS -based Linux distro designed to work efficiently on both old and modern PCs. It is easy to configure and has been developed to be simple enough for Linux beginners to easily get up and running with it. MX Linux is powerful and sure to run nicely on your USB stick plus its online community is 100% welcoming of new users and developers. MX Linux Distro. 2. Puppy Linux. Puppy Linux is a collection of completely customizable lightweight portable Linux distributions developed with a focus on memory friendliness and ease of use. It ships with common tools for daily computing, a “grandpa”-navigable UI, and several flavors to meet the individual requirements of potential users. Puppy leaves such a small memory footprint that it can run entirely on RAM and it even enables you to save your session data separately. 3. Peppermint OS. Peppermint OS is a fast, fully customizable lightweight Lubuntu-based OS designed to integrate with web-based applications and cloud services. It combines the functionality of Xfce’s panel and application menu with LXDE’s lxsession to offer users a fancy desktop environment and ships with the tools that users typically need in their workstation such as the Software Manager and the terminal. 4. Ubuntu GamePack. Ubuntu GamePack is an Ubuntu-based distro created to provide Linux users with 28,000+ games and applications that typically run on only Windows and MS-DOS. It ships with preinstalled delivery systems for Internet games and apps including Lutris, Steam, Wine , and PlayOnLinux and conveniently allows users to keep copies of their game configuration and progress on multiple drives. 5. Kali Linux. Kali Linux is a Debian-based distro developed especially for penetration testing and digital forensics. It comes with 300+ premier tools built by an elite team of security experts and it is designed to be able to run on a flash drive in order to facilitate an unhindered workflow irrespective of place. If you’re into cybersecurity/forensics you should check out our article on the Best 20 Hacking and Penetration Tools for Kali Linux. 6. Slax. Hailed as a Pocket Operating System , Slax is an open source Debian-based LiveCD distro with a modular installer that enables users to choose the apps they want to be installed on their machine. In total, Slax is about 210MB and requires just about 256MB RAM to run. It works excellently even on old machines as it is available for both 32 and 64-bit architectures. Slax Linux Desktop. 7. Porteus. Porteus is a full Linux Operating System optimized to be run from USB flash drives, CDs, or any bootable storage media including hard drives. Being a little under 300MB, it is among the smallest and yet fastest distros on our planet as, among other features, it boots into the LXDE desktop in under 15 seconds! It implements a modular system which is available for 32 and 64-bit architectures with support for several world languages and a large user community. 8. Knoppix. Knoppix is a Debian-based Operating System designed for running directly from a USB drive and/or CD/DVD thereby successfully placing a Live Linux Filesystem on CD. Knoppix was first released 18 years ago as one of the first LiveCD distributions and has been in active development ever since and giving rise to similar initiatives such as DSL . 9. Tiny Core Linux. Tiny Core Linux is a mini Linux Operating System developed by Robert Shingledecker to provide a base system using FLTK and BusyBox and it stands out for its small size and minimalist approach to applications manager, among other features. The goal of the Tiny Core Linux project is to create an OS capable of booting from a CD ROM, pen drive, or booting frugally from a hard drive while completing operations speedily. It runs directly from RAM and can have its modules extended using extensions installed in the RAM or mounted from a storage device. Tiny Core Linux. 10. SliTaz. SliTaz is a secure and high-performance GNU/Linux Operating System designed to be fast, simple to use, and completely customizable. Its name stands for Simple, Light, Incredible, Temporary Autonomous Zone and with a total core LiveCD size of 35 – 50MB. SliTaz is possibly the smallest distribution with a desktop GUI on the planet. It is so customizable that you can change anything you want including adding Desktop Effects, persistence (the characteristic of a state that outlives its parent process), etc. Did I mention your favorite portable Linux distro? Feel free to add your suggestions and share your experience with us in the comments section below. And don’t forget to support us by subscribing to FossMint’s newsletter and sharing our articles. How to install Linux on an Android phone. Your Android phone is already powered by the goodness of Linux, but you can enhance it further and make better use of its multi-core processors and oodles of RAM by running a full-blown Linux distro alongside the existing mobile OS. We can think of many reasons why you'd want a proper Linux PC in your pocket. You can, for example, use it to power a LAMP server that can run web apps and serve web pages. If you're a network admin, you can install your favourite Linux tools and turn the smartphone into a portable network troubleshooting or pen-testing device. The LinuxOnAndroid project produces an Android app and a couple of shell scripts, and hosts a bunch of Linux distros that you can boot using the app. In a snap, the scripts mount the Linux image within the Android filesystem and the SD card within the Linux filesystem. They then call on chroot to change the root directory to that of the mounted Linux and open up a shell for you to interact with the mounted Linux system. The scripts also set up SSH for secured remote access, along with VNC to allow you to access this Linux system's graphical desktop. The scripts only prepare the environment for Linux to run on the device. The Linux image files hosted by the project are just customised Linux environments packaged by the project developers to suit different use-cases and devices. The important bit is that all the Linux distros offered by the project are made up of ARM packages, and instead of running in a virtual machine they run on the real hardware on your Android smartphone. This is why you can run it on the measliest of devices. We've managed to run Arch Linux along with the Enlightenment desktop on a Samsung phone with a single-core 1GHz processor and about 400MB RAM. At the time of writing, the project has stable images for Arch Linux, Debian Lenny, Debian Testing, Fedora 20, Fedora 19, Kali Linux, Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 13.04, and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. There are also Alpha images that aren't meant for production use for other distros, including Slackware, Bodhi, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu 14.04. Each of these distros is available in multiple editions. The Core image is the smallest in size, and includes the minimum set of packages you need to run the distro. This is ideal for creating your own images and include the Openbox window manager. Next there's the Small image, which ships with the LXDE desktop and its suite of programs. Finally you have the Large image, which includes the KDE Plasma Desktop, LibreOffice and Gimp. Some distros have additional images as well. Arch Linux produces images with the Enlightenment desktop, and Fedora ships an image with the MATE desktop. You can grab the images with either the ext2 or ext4 filesystem. The ext4 images are compatible with Android 4.3 while the ext2 images are compatible with earlier versions of Android. Prep the device. Start by grabbing the Complete Linux Installer app from Google's Play Store. Alternatively you can head to the LinuxOnAndroid project's website and download the open source version of the Android app (but go into the Settings > Security menu and toggle Unknown Sources to enable installation of non-Play Store apps). The app requires a rooted Android device. The exact procedure necessary to root an Android device varies between models. Besides the app produced by the LinuxOnAndroid project, you'll also need a VNC viewer to use the graphical desktop. The project suggests using the popular Android VNC Viewer app.

These embedded systems are found in everything from cars to microwave ovens. These systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated and interconnected, both to each other and to the Internet. Unfortunately, it appears that the security implications of this complexity and connectivity have mostly been overlooked, even though ignoring security could have disastrous consequences; since embedded systems control much of our environment, compromised systems could be used to inflict physical harm. This work presents an analysis of security issues in embedded systems, including a comprehensive security analysis of modern automotive systems. We hypothesize that dynamic analysis tools would quickly discover many of the vulnerabilities we found. However, as we will discuss, there

  • Cross-Compiler Bipartite Vulnerability Search
    electronics Article Cross-Compiler Bipartite Vulnerability Search Paul Black * and Iqbal Gondal Internet Commerce Security Laboratory (ICSL), Federation University, Ballarat 3353, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Open-source libraries are widely used in software development, and the functions from these libraries may contain security vulnerabilities that can provide gateways for attackers. This paper provides a function similarity technique to identify vulnerable functions in compiled programs and proposes a new technique called Cross-Compiler Bipartite Vulnerability Search (CCBVS). CCBVS uses a novel training process, and bipartite matching to filter SVM model false positives to improve the quality of similar function identification. This research uses debug symbols in programs compiled from open-source software products to generate the ground truth. This automatic extraction of ground truth allows experimentation with a wide range of programs. The results presented in the paper show that an SVM model trained on a wide variety of programs compiled for Windows and Linux, x86 and Intel 64 architectures can be used to predict function similarity and that the use of bipartite matching substantially improves the function similarity matching performance. Keywords: malware similarity; function similarity; binary similarity; machine-learning; bipar- tite matching 1. Introduction Citation: Black, P.; Gondal, I.

In my opinion, it was a great cooperation of all persons taking part in this project. Abstract Embedded systems can be found in more and more devices. Linux as a free operating system is also becoming more and more important in embedded applications. Linux even replaces other operating systems in certain areas (e.g. mobile phones). This thesis deals with the employment of Linux in embedded systems. Various architectures of embedded systems are introduced and the characteristics of common operating systems for these devices are reviewed. The architecture of Linux is examined by looking at the particular components such as kernel, standard C libraries and POSIX tools for embedded systems. Furthermore, there is a survey of real-time extensions for the Linux kernel. The thesis also treats software development for embedded Linux ranging from the prerequi- sites for compiling software to the debugging of binaries.

  • Arch Linux Installation
    (DELL)ARCH LINUX INSTALLATION INFORMATION Current installed version archlinux-2014.05.01, Arch Linux is also run on the Raspberry Pi:s but way easier to install. Check out the Raspberry Pi installation document for that. Text in Bold Courier New is either something on the screen you’ll see in text or something you should type in. This guide is mainly for the Dell Dimension 9200 we use in the room, but everything could be adapted to your own computer. Just check your hard drive space and which driver you should use for your graphic card. DOWNLOAD Get latest version from: https://www.archlinux.org/download/ Create a bootable USB drive, recommended program for that is USBWriter, since it’s just to open USBWrite, chose the .iso-file (the file you downloaded from Arch Linux’s site) and see that you have the USB plugged in and that the program finds it, then click Start. Easy as pie. http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbwriter/ Keyboard Arch Linux will have the English layout so here’s a picture in case you need it. There’s also a way of temporary switching the keyboard layout but not going to bring that up here. (DELL)ARCH LINUX INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Now that you have your USB ready, plug it in and let’s boot and install Arch Linux. You should get something like the picture below, choose “Boot Arch Linux (x86_64)”. If you don’t get it your boot order settings are most likely not set to have USB drive boot first (pressing F12 during boot will get you a boot order list, or F2 to go into BIOS settings, F12 usually works and there you can select USB Device).
