I don't know how many people have heard of this, so I'll throw it out there.

Damn Vulnerable Linux is made to be the most vulnerable (modern) operating system available. It's meant to be run through VMware/Vbox/Qemu, etc, and never actually installed, and lets the user to learn about everything from reverse engineering to web application security.

The description says it's 150-ish mb, but the ISO I'm downloading at the moment (Strychnine-E605) is clocking in around 1044mb.

So, uh, go and learn stuff.

Just use windows, it's just as vulnerable.

You can spend all the hours under the sun and moon, but you wont be able to create anything more vulnerable, than the Windows Operating System.

Sheesh, what do they teach you kids in Computer class all day?

Okay, so maybe it's not the most vulnerable operating system. I actually have no way of really proving what the most vulnerable operating system is. That wasn't the point of my post, I don't care how many times you guys say it. The point was that it's an extremely vulnerable Linux distribution meant to teach the users about security.

It's meant for training, to secure a *nix environment.

God you all fell for it!
