BackBox Linux is a distribution that provides the best penetration testing, incident response, computer forensics, and intelligence gathering applications in a user-friendly desktop distribution.
It’s based on Ubuntu, but uses a resource-friendly desktop environment called Xfce.
BackBox Linux 4.4 was released a few days ago, barely three months after the release of BackBox 4.3.
This article presents a summary review of the latest edition – BackBox Linux 4.4, which is based on Ubuntu 14.04.3.
With regards to Ubiquity, the graphical installer, the release notes says that support for LVM, the Linux Logical Volume Manager, and full disk encryption are new options. That’s actually not accurate. Since at least BackBox 4.3 (see BackBox 4.3 review: Not just for penetration tests and security assessments), BackBox Linux has been using a version of Ubiquity that has support for LVM and full disk encryption. Minor detail, but the most important thing, is you can install a BackBox Linux 4.4 system with a good physical security posture.
