Hardened has a ~500 meg livecd for the x86 arch which may work for your |
| 14 |
needs. You can use it for many of things like forensics of compromised |
| 15 |
computer, rescue cd, install cd, work station, misc appliance. It |
| 16 |
combines a squashfs + uninonfs so you can save/load data or quickly add |
| 17 |
a package from a usb keychain and a number of other useful tools for the |
| 18 |
security minded admin. I'm not a cryptographic freak myself but I don't |
| 19 |
see any reason why the personal encrypted data you wanted to load could |
| 20 |
not come from the usb device. Questions, suggestions, ideas for |
| 21 |
improvements can be sent to the gentoo-hardened mailing list. |
| 22 |
Default console only login is hardened with the pass of hardened, the |
| 23 |
hardened user can sudo to root. |
