Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is a discontinued[1] SLAX-based Linux distribution geared towards computer security students. It functions as a tool for observing and studying vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel and popular user space software. It is available as a live CD, and can be run through a virtual machine within the host operating system.[2]

History

[edit]

DVL was created by Thorsten Schneider, the founder of the TeutoHack laboratory at Bielefeld University,[3] to use as a training system for his university lectures.

Design

[edit]

DVL is a SLAX-based distribution, and uses the Slackware .tgz package management system.[1] It uses outdated versions of various software, to deliberately make it the most vulnerable operating system ever.[4][5]

DVL is distributed as a live CD, allowing it to be booted directly from the distribution medium without installation on a PC or within a virtual machine.[6]
