An old distro of Slackware or Debian would be good, and you could also look into DSL (**** Small Linux)

Knoppix STD is basically Knoppix.

The people that did STD removed some programs that came with Knoppix, and then added security tools. Hence the STD, which stands for Security Tools Distribution.
