-Zank - ZaNkY, on 10/12/2007, -15/+68Double post? Hmmm please bury the second post (and this one)
- shrewduser, on 10/12/2007, -5/+50i looked all over the digg submission and that website, and 10 minutes later i'm still not sure exactly what backtrack is.... could someone enlighten me?
- dcbebop, on 10/12/2007, -4/+39Just like the digg community to do the exact opposite as you ask for ...
Everyone, don't send me 1,000,000 dollars. - fliz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24.. and 14 year olds trying to get on their neighbor's wireless
- cinnix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21BackTrack is basically a fancy password-crackin' Wifi-hackin' Linux distribution. Erm I mean its a Linux distro geared towards network admins and general security whatnot.
- ITike, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19BackTrack is a bootable Linux distro for ethical hackers. It comes with most of the popular security tools already bult into the OS. Very cool and highly regarded in the community. For more info on this and hacker tools, I really like www.ethicalhacker.net. It's a free, online magazine covering this area of IT.
- Raluph, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13So basically, if I don't already know what it is I probably wouldn't know what it is even after you've told me...

- eliezerlp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10New exciting features in BackTrack 2, to mention a few:
...
-Broadcom based wireless card support
... - rmccs0x, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12best distro for security professionals, hands down.
- trevah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Ya man! What a bunch of frikkin' noob devs!!!
/sarcasm - ahill7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11BackTrack was formerly called "Auditor" and was featured on Toms Hardware as a great way to use a live CD to crack WEP.
- etx313, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Well pat yourself on the back, asshat.
- flxfxp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6To be honest, it was based on Whax, that was based on Whoppix, which are all based on Slax.
Auditor was based on Knoppix. Both projects merged together. - flxfxp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I'm giving the servers 10 mins...

I'm getting really excited! :fires up uTorrent: - drilldown, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5WOW. Just burned and booted the ISO. Only had time to check available "network tools" and DAMN. Then the fact that everyone will start the live disk as admin name: root and admin password: toor...... Kicked in. More tunneling, vpn, remotes, smashers, grabbers, servers, network monitors... and everyone knows the root login. I turned white, yanked the network cable and decided to install it to a blank disk instead of the live test station.
First Impression.
Very nice, HUGE, collection of networking firepower. Kinda like Loading a VERY big, fully automatic weapon in a crowded room then realizing there's no safety on it. - ekso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Gotta love Diggers subtle sense of humor. :D
- eliezerlp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I wonder if they ever added support for Broadcom wireless chipsets for normal browsing (not for packet inject or passive sniffing). They said they would in v2
Also widescreen support would be very much welcome. - elebrio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://ryanunderdown.com/2007/02/12/cracking-wep-using-backtrack/
my backtrack tutorial.
It seems this release supports most USB wireless adapters... an area sorely lacking in most linux distros. - antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://www.remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html would tell you.
- solarsavior, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4BackTrack is an awesome hackers Linux toolkit. I have played around with it to crack WEP encryption (via Aircrack) and check web servers for vulnerabilities (via Nikto). (I'm a network engineer and it is all ethical hacking.)
It is based upon Slax; a sleek, live distro of Linux.
http://www.slax.org
I install it onto a USB drive via MySlax Creator and it boots just as fast as from a hard drive. It also allows one to add/remove Slax modules to add/remove programs/drivers to/from the image.
http://myslax.bonsonno.org
I highly recommend all three and these people are doing an extremely good job. Even for a guy that isn't super strong in Linux, I can get it all up and running due to the sheer ease of use of all three. - abhiroop, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Exactly my feeling, the digg title and description was completely useless (as it was pulled straight from the first few lines of the article!), I only went to the site because it sounded interesting, and I still didn't know what it was about!
- dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Use a download manager that supports resume, wget is probably the simplest : wget -c [url] will continue the download if your connection dies
- eliezerlp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Oh, don't get me wrong. No reason to blame them; blame the manufacturers, e.g. Broadcom, that don't support Linux or open source in general.
- fliz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5I like to visit sites like ethicalhacker.net, and then use what I learn for mildly unethical purposes.
- harley999, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Why the hell dont they release a version of backtrack with gkismet, I hate having to boot to auditor to get the kismet with the gui.., anyone know how to add this?
- pytro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Boot on xxWare ( i.e OS Emulation ) it's much faster than Backtrack I. It's running nicely.
Great Job and thanks :D. - JamesSaveker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have always found Knoppix STD (security tools distrib) more than adequate but then this seems worth a look.
- tranix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Another Torrent tracker...
http://www.linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=3697 - solarsavior, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They've changed up the directory structure on the final 2.0 version. MySlax will not work on it now. (at least without playing around with the directory structure) MySlax worked on the 2.0 beta. Back to more manual USB installation procedures for now...
- flxfxp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The broadcom cards arent really built for injection tho. I recommend getting a card with a Prism, Atheros or Ralink chipset.
- mastercheez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ok...more people need to start torrenting...I'm on a shaky connection and don't want to risk http without resume right now..
- dbr_onix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"and everyone knows the root login"
Err, it starts up with all the network interfaces down, and (I think) no services running. Just run passwd when you start it - Even if you don't, unless someone knows that your running Backtrack, or brute-forces the login (Either way you have a problem..), and your not behind any kind of NAT, I don't see how it's a problem..
Also, if your extremely paranoid about it, you can fairly easily add customized files to the ISO - Just change the /etc/shadow file with a better password.. - mlw4428, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2FTA: "Every time we thought we were done, a new idea or improvement would surface, and we just *had* to implement it. Many features were added, and many of the old (yet persistent) bugs were fixed."
See I read that line and I think of Duke Em Nukem Forever... - Mephux, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2no question.. Best Indeed.
- mackgset, on 02/28/2008, -0/+0i have backtrack linux 2 and i have a dell inspiron b130. celeron processor intel graphics card 128 mb. 1.25 GB of ram. anywho, when i boot back track linux on CD, it shows that its about the boot, but then my screen goes BLACK and i cant see it load. how do i fix this problem?? when i boot the CD on my friends laptop, it works! it shows the loading screen, i can log in and everything. but on my laptop, its just completely black. what the heck is wrong with my laptop and what am i missing???? somebody help please. thanks
- acdcbag, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@etx313 Donnie Darko dinner table argument
- bigal90, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2yeah man this things great, and to elienzerlp it does support some broadcom cards and you can use ndiswrapper to force compatiblity on majority of cards, but dont blame backtrack for poor wireless support becuase its linux in general
- BigBadHoss, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1How can you blame Linux? The manufacturers have made drivers for everything but Linux, and developers hack the chips to make drivers without the manufacturers help. If you think the support for WiFi is bad, why dont you help out and make a driver yourself?
- mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3"Every time we thought we were done, a new idea or improvement would surface, and we just *had* to implement it"
Once you go to beta, you freeze features and only work on fixing bugs! New features are for alpha stage.. - evilpig, on 10/12/2007, -11/+7Yeah. Pretty lame description and site if you ask me.
- clearzen, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1nvm.....
- keyboardcowboy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1burried because i submitted this story long before you grrrrr
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3This should've been buried for lack of a legitimate description.
Seriously, why do we continue to suffer this kind of ***** on here? - usherzx, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2same here
- acdcbag, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1Ditto. Buried. Also submitted long before you.
