Good point.  And Knoppix already has several excellent security tools 
(Nessus, Snort, Ettercap, etc.).  However, the majority of tools I 
have in mind are *small* command-line security tools for custom packet 
generation (dnet), IP stack/application stress testing (isic), and other 
specialized tools (irpas).  Oh, and mall meaning a couple of hundred bytes 
at most.  

For some examples and links to what I'm thinking about, please check out:

As others have noted, Knoppix is mature and quite tweakable.  I do wonder 
if folks are sharing these custom images?  Is there an interest in this 
kind of exchange? 

Thanks for a great distro :)
