Alpine Security and Rescue

The Alpine Security flavor (or short Alpine Security) provides a toolset to work on security auditing, forensics, system rescue, and teaching security testing methodologies. The tool list contains packages for code analysis, forensics and data recovery, reconnaissance, network statistics, VoIP, wireless lan, and IDS. The focus of Alpine Rescue is system maintenance, backup, and rescue tasks.

The target is not to start a competition with the Fedora Security Lab or Backtrack. But rather make it easy to use the particular tools with Alpine Linux in a small, non GUI, and Busybox-based system.
