Security Distros
There is a comprehensive list of security distros, both active and retired at:
They also offer tutorials (http://www.securitydistro.com/security-distros), a rather barebones tools page (http://www.securitydistro.com/security-tools) and an events page (http://www.securitydistro.com/security-events).
Fyodor’s SecTools Top 125 is a much better page, in my opinion, for tools (http://sectools.org/) .
