I'm looking for a bootable-USB hacking environment - the lone sherrif - Apr 19, 2017

I need an OS for hacking that can be booted from a USB stick, has all the usual hacking tools and is relatively small in size (not above 16 GB)
can you please help me?
thanks

Backtrack is outdated and no longer supported/updated.
Use Offensive Security's backtrack 'replacement', kali linux.
Here is the ISO download.
