The Most Vulnerable and Exploitable Operating System Ever? Damn Vulnerable 
Linux | NetworkWorld.com Community

    OK, put your arrows, stones and guns away please. I am not saying every 
    version of Linux is the most vulnerable and exploitable OS ever. But 
    Damned Vulnerable Linux very well may be. But why not, that is exactly 
    what its developers want it to be.

    The brainchild of Dr. Thorsten Schneider of Bielefeld University, DVL was 
    designed to build up a training system that he could use for his 
    university lectures. His goal "was to design a Linux system that was as 
    vulnerable as possible, to teach topics such as reverse code engineering, 
    buffer overflows, shellcode development, Web exploitation, and SQL 
    injection." 

    DVL is made up of older and vulnerable packages like older versions of 
    Apache, MySQL, PHP, and FTP and SSH daemons. There are also tools like 
    GCC, GDB, NASM, strace, ELF Shell, DDD, LDasm, LIDa to help students 
    decompile and reverse engineer some of the packages in the Linux distro.
