I Know Any Linux Distributions Can Hack Nearly Anything But I Want To Know That Can We Hack Wifi With Damn Small Linux And Can I Install Any Good Looking Desktop Environment In DSL , I If Yes Then is it KDE,Mate,Gnome or XFCE ?

DamnSmallLinux is based on a 2.4 kernel, so it is very unlikely that it will have drivers or any somewhat recent WLAN hardware.
DSL is as bad as a base for a penetration testing as you can get. There are special distributions aimed at penetration testing, like Backbox or Kali, go for them. |
Use Tiny Core Linux is what I would do instead of DSL.
Slitaz is another another good one to use. Even though I still keep 2 old cds of DSL and DSL_N in my cd rack. Just for old hardware checks to make sure things like cdboot or floppy boot is working on like a IBM 390. Quote:
My Slitaz install did not look too shabby for a illiterate scooter tramp I would think? http://s13.postimg.org/5llpbnix3/slitaz1.jpg That was running wirelessly also (signal in conky in top of screenshot is the wireless signal strength bar). Edit: Some reading for you regarding Slitaz if interested. It is a pdf link however. So you need some kind of online pdf reader enabled in your browser. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...qSk0iuTWqrJ3eA |
We really shouldn't encourage hacking.

1. I suggest don't run Gnu/Linux on virtual. If you truly want to learn Gnu/Linux give all the space to it instead. 2. "Hacking" is a term which is both honorable and abhorrent, a means justifiable or condemnable mainly by its end. So I suggest you avoid using it here, rather, state in detail what you want to do with your system... for all true hackers begin that way. 3. The best way is to try the good advice above, they are those who have gone through the road ahead, or try create your own system as slim as you can --try Linux-From-Scratch-- that way you might learn to hack your own system. I once ran an Absolute Linux version 12 in an old 600mhz machine and it was faster than I expected. Try that solution too. Good luck and enjoy. mm |

I'd be willing to say that most of the people on this forum are not crackers. And before anyone bites my head off, no I didn't mean this as a racial slur. |
Since any Linux distribution provides you with the source code, I guess you can use whichever distro you like.
