DAVIX is a Live CD based on Slackware for the purposes of computer security operations. The distribution focuses on data analysis and visualization [1]. DAVIX stands for Data Analysis and VIsualization linuX. It is the first Live CD to integrate so many visualization tools. The long-term goal for the distribution is to provide a good set of tools supporting the complete process of visual data analysis.

Jan Monsch began work on the CD in December 2007[2]. After discussions with Raffael Marty in January 2008, Jan agreed to produce the CD for "Applied Security Visualization" based on a list of utilities Raffael had discussed in the book[3].

Features

DAVIX contains a collection of more than 25 free tools for data processing and visualization [4]. Some examples of the tools are:

The DAVIX CD ships with a 15 chapter manual which covers DAVIX use and customization with examples and screenshots[5]. Additionally, most utilities on the system have documentation pages.

The DAVIX CD is based on Slax.

Security visualization

Computer information security visualization is a form of Visualization (computer graphics). In enterprise environments, computer security information can be generated in very large volumes, which can become very difficult to analyze without a visual context. Using DAVIX, a security engineer can visually spot anomalies in network traffic such as changes in IP sources/destinations, network protocols, application protocols, traffic patterns, frequency, and volume.

Current State

DAVIX was released at Black Hat Briefings/DEF CON in August 2008.[6]
