and Linux compatible and users can simply install and boot this ~70mb
OS through a USB pen drive or in a virtual machine (VM) environment.

developed specifically for pentesting and security auditing which all
are based on Linux. These include Kali, BackTrack and WiFiway.

is simple to use and just works, depending on a number of variables and
providing you have all the right hardware of course.
Tools
Xiaopan OS includes a number of tools to hack WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), WiFI Protected Access (WPA) and Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encrypted networks:
- Reaver: newly developed application with the ability to brute force crack WPS (WPA / WPA2) pins.
- Inflator: this is the GUI version of command line reaver.
- Aircrack-ng: the major backbone of many other Xiaopan tools including FeedingBottle (FB) and Minidwep with the ability to attack WPA networks through a dictionary attack and WEP networks through collecting and injecting packets.
- FeedingBottle: so easy a baby could use it! FB is essentially the Aircrack-ng GUI and was created by Beini.
- Minidwep: is similar to FB but has a better and similar GUI that is even easier to use than FB. The added advantage of Minidwep is that you can also run Reaver and Inflator from here as well.
- Xfe: this is a simple file manager similar to say windows explorer
