Free LiveCD Tools

A "LiveCD" is a CD that can be booted up without a prior Operating System loaded that has certain software on it to get tasks done. For instance, "GParted" is software that allows you to make changes to the partitions on hard drives, and the developers of the software have a LiveCD version which runs the software directly off of the CD. This means there's no need to boot into an OS first.

Below are some useful LiveCD tools:
GParted - Partitioning tool - http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
Knoppix - Full Linux distribution on a CD - http://www.knoppix.net/
INSERT - Geared towards system recovery and network auditing - http://www.inside-security.de/INSERT_en.html
BackTrack - An excellent LiveCD that aims at network penetration testing - http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html
SystemRescueCD - Data recovery and backup - http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
Austrumi - Reset Windows passwords - http://cyti.latgola.lv/ruuni/index_en.html
Ophcrack - Windows password cracking tool - http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/

All the above mentioned LiveCDs are free. ERD Commander from Winternals is an extremely useful LiveCD, but it comes at a cost. If you're an IT tech that primarily works on Windows OSes, ERD Commander is a great investment.

Some Interesting Axis Webcam Feeds

There's a search "hack" to find Axis (http://www.axis.com/) webcams. Most of their products display their feed via a page called "/view/view.shtml", thus you can easily search for this within Google and other search engines. I searched for "/view/view.shtml axis" to filter out some junk results. Ideally I'd use "/view/view.shtml intitle:'Axis'" but Google prevents you digging too deep into the results due to worm attacks.

Here are some interesting cameras I've come across:
