BackTrack

http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Operating-Systems/Linux-Distributions/BackTrack-9477.shtml
The highest rated and acclaimed Linux security distribution to date
BackTrack is a Linux-based penetration testing arsenal that aids security professionals in the ability to perform assessments in a purely native environment dedicated to hacking. Regardless if you’re making BackTrack your primary operating system, booting from a LiveDVD, or using your favorite thumbdrive, BackTrack has been customized down to every package, kernel configuration, script and patch solely for the purpose of the penetration tester.
BackTrack is intended for all audiences from the most savvy security professionals to early newcomers to the information security field. BackTrack promotes a quick and easy way to find and update the largest database of security tool collection to-date.
Our community of users range from skilled penetration testers in the information security field, government entities, information technology, security enthusiasts, and individuals new to the security community. Feedback from all industries and skill levels allows us to truly develop a solution that is tailored towards everyone and far exceeds anything ever developed both commercially and freely available.
Whether you’re hacking wireless, exploiting servers, learning, performing a web application assessment, or social-engineering a client, BackTrack is the one-stop-shop for all of your security needs.
The evolution of BackTrack spans many years of development, penetration tests, and unprecedented help from the security community. BackTrack originally started with earlier versions of live Linux distributions called Whoppix, IWHAX, and Auditor. When BackTrack was developed, it was designed and developed by seasoned security professionals to perform penetration testing from one live CD and not leave remnants of the on the laptop itself. It has since expanded to being the most widely adopted penetration testing framework in existence and is used by the security community all over the world.

ASAP

ASAP stands for the Alliance of Security Analysis Professionals™.

ASAP started out as a small band of security support sites under siege, but has expanded rapidly to include the "Best of the Best" the Internet Security Community has to offer.
ASAP is made up of internet security oriented website and forum owners, administrators, and staff, as well as individuals, companies, and various organizations also dedicated to providing security related support to computer end users.
ASAP is a joint effort dedicated to assisting end users with as seamless a process as possible by using methods such as cross-referrals, multiple product support services, easy information access, and cross referencing with verification.
ASAP's goals are:
  • To ensure a high standard and quality of security support no matter where you seek help.
  • To recommend in an equal and fair manner products available to keep your computer clean and safe, regardless of pricing.
  • To ensure that end users are not affected by so called "product wars" and unfair marketing tactics, which have plagued several industries in recent years.

ASAP ensures that quality support and assistance will be freely available - knock one of the support networks out and another will pick it up immediately. In addition, pooled resources permit the ability to provide support redundancy, thereby adding an additional layer of protection against Internet based threats.
If you see the ASAP logo or banner used by a website, bulletin board, or individual, you can be assured that you're getting the best support and assistance possible.
