Fedora Security Lab is one of Fedora's official 'Labs' spins -- the same trusted Fedora base and package repositories, pre-selected for a specific audience, in this case security auditors, digital forensics practitioners, and educators teaching security courses. It's a lighter-touch alternative to a dedicated distribution like Kali for users who are already comfortable in the Fedora/RPM ecosystem and would rather add a security toolset to that familiar base than adopt an entirely separate Debian-based distribution. As a live image it can also be run without installing, for one-off forensic or testing sessions.
MirrorNest doesn't mirror distro ISOs — installation media should always come straight from the project's own official download page (linked above), so you get the correct checksum/signature to verify against.
