Damn Vulnerable Linux Production Image

Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is a Slackware and Slax-based live DVD. The distribution, purposefully stuffed with broken, ill-configured, outdated and exploitable software, began life as a training system used during the author's university lectures. Its primary goal is to design a Linux system that is as vulnerable as possible -- in order to teach and demonstrate a variety of security topics, including reverse code engineering, buffer overflows, shell code development, web exploitation, and SQL injection.

A screenshot describes Damn Vulnerable Linux, a live DVD intentionally filled with broken, outdated, and exploitable software for teaching security. The joke is that the deliberately vulnerable training system is presented as a “production-ready” Linux image, contrasting it with Oracle’s Linux distribution and mocking unsafe software engineering choices.
