Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is everything a good Linux distribution
isn't. Its developers have spent hours stuffing it with broken,
ill-configured, outdated, and exploitable software that makes it
vulnerable to attacks. DVL isn't built to run on your desktop -- it's a
learning tool for security students.
