Do you currently have a Linux CD or ISO that you wish you could boot from a USB stick instead of having to carry around a CD with you? You need to know about a piece of software called UNetbootin. This software allows you to take a Linux iso and copy it and make your USB thumb drive bootable.\nBeing in the computer consulting industry I've used this in two real life examples that I will share with you.\n\tThe first one is called Back Track. This is security auditing software that I use to assess clients' networks. It is an excellent piece of software for scanning networks. \n\tThe next piece of software is called Ophcrack. This software uses the Windows hash file to crack Windows XP and Windows Vista passwords.
