SecUntu For Linux

As its name suggests, SecUntu is a secured Ubuntu derivative that has been designed from the ground up to allow you to do various tasks online without exposing yourself to threats and vulnerabilities.

This Ubuntu-based computer operating system is distributed as a single, dual-arch Live DVD ISO image that fits perfectly on a DVD disc or a USB flash drive of 2GB or higher capacity. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit computers.

Default boot options include the ability to start the live system with the default kernel or in safe graphics mode using the xforcevesa option, start the graphical installer directly to perform a fresh install of the OS, perform a system memory (RAM) diagnostic test, as well as to boot the first drive detected by the BIOS.

Arrived at the login screen, you must type in the “secuser” password (without quotes) and press the Enter key on your keyboard to login into the live session, which is powered by Ubuntu’s controversial and modern Unity graphical desktop environment.

The SecUntu operating system contains popular open source applications, among which we can mention the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers, GNote note-taking app, TrueCrypt data encryption tool, Banshee music player, FileZilla file transfer client and BleachBit system cleaner.

The Evolution email and calendar client, ClamAV and ClamTK anti-virus, Dropbox file hosting client and Firestarter firewall, Remastersys Ubuntu ISO customizer and generator,, KeePass password manager and Ubuntu Tweak system customizer are also included.

The latest version of SecUntu is based on the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) operating system, which means that it will receive software updates and security patches until April 2017.
