The data recovery tool for system administrators
|
Network
Naturally, you can also undertake an extensive analysis of your network access with SystemRescueCD. This distribution includes the standard tools such as Nmap, Traceroute, Netcat, and Netselect. All of these are used in the terminal.
Graphics packages like Zenmap and Wireshark are lacking. Therefore, it is a good idea to rely on specialty distributions like Wifislax or Kali Linux for network-specific issues.
Conclusion
The new version 4.6.0 of SystemRescueCD makes an all around excellent impression with system administrators. The operating system is fast and stable. It has no unnecessary baggage that might slow it down. It can also be run on older machines or those with partially incompatible graphics hardware because the Xfce desktop is resource conservative. It emphasizes command-line tools, and it can be used without an X server.
With its integration of tools from other operating systems, such as DOS applications, which may be booted separately, SystemRescueCD is also suitable for rescuing data in heterogeneous environments. This system belongs in the toolbox of every administrator.
