'''DAVIX''' is a [[GNU/Linux distribution]] distributed as a [[Live CD]] for the purposes of [[Computer Security]] operations.  The distribution focuses on data analysis and visualization <ref>http://www.secviz.org/content/the-davix-live-cd</ref>. DAVIX stands for Data Analysis and VIsualization linuX.  The distribution is referred to frequently in the book "Applied Security Visualization" by Raffael Marty <ref>http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321510100</ref>.

The long-term goal for the distribution is to provide a good set of tools supporting the complete process of visual data analysis. 


==Features==
DAVIX contains a collection of more than 25 free tools for data processing and visualization <ref>http://holisticinfosec.org/toolsmith/docs/june2008.pdf</ref>. 

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.
