- The correct title of this article is nUbuntu. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
nUbuntu or Network Ubuntu is a project to take the existing Ubuntu distribution and remaster it as a LiveCD and Full Install with tools needed for penetration-testing servers and networks. The main idea is to keep Ubuntu's ease of use and mix it with popular penetration testing tools. Besides usage for network and server testing, nUbuntu will be made to be a desktop distribution for advanced Linux users.

nUbuntu uses the light window manager Fluxbox to make the general use of nUbuntu faster than Ubuntu itself, yet still functional and simplistic. It includes some of the most used security programs for Linux, such as Ethereal, nmap, dSniff, and Ettercap.
