BACKTRACK?

its a linux distro, loaded with softwares that help ppl pentesting.

I love BT5 R3.

DO most people use BT5 for hacking into servers and stuff?
Or do you just use the source code of the website you’re hacking?

I use backtrack to get onto oldschool internet networks that are still dumb enough to use a WEP password

Here’s a new friend for you: http://www.google.com/

Backtrack is extremely useful and helpful, i would consider it a hackers distro.

Backtrack was to help with the need for penetration testing for pen-testers and now it is being used to train and teach people how to detect intrusions and to ultimately bypass security protocols.

Learn to use Backtrack and become one with it, than branch from it and make your own tools or try to upgrade backtrack yourself.

Reserve engineering is cool also.

While BackTrack is a nice Linux distribution for pentester, I would recommend Kali Linux (www.kali.org) this is a more updated version compared to BackTrack.

Hi 0xDC,

Kali Linux really sucks. I didn’t like it. BT is much better than Kali Linux.

Try the social engineering toolkit on BT5R3-KDE

Download Kali Linux it’s way more updated and doesn’t have a thousand driver issues. The BT Team switched over to Debian as well as bt os use are Ubuntu.

@tlotr: I guess that’s a matter of opinion :)

Just a question, does anyone know what’s the difference between Backtrack and Blackbuntu?

Implying that backtrack or anything debian based is worth using.

Try a real *nix.

backtrack is a pen testing os that can be run virtual or become a parallel boot of a live disc. It comes with a huge array of tools and can be used for testing how secure servers and networks are but their is a lot more that can be done with backtrack, such as physhing and VOIP freaking. it is linux based.

zLKidda said is correct - penetration testing distribution of Linux based on Ubuntu. The newest release is Linux Kali basically it’s Backtrack revamped.

i never said it wasn’t linux based, in fact, i said it was debian based (follow the arrows: debian>ubuntu>backtrack 5) where as kali is (follow the arrows: debian>kali) where as still yet again being a good pentesting tool when working on say, your own site, it should not be relied on as a serious hacking tool of any sort. as with anything automatically done, there are flaws that are not seen in security. which is why i prefer telling newkids to start from linux mint, have them learn how to use terminal, and them from there, have them use arch linux till they decide to keep moving up. (again, follow arrows: debian>ubuntu>linux mint)

Switched from Backtrack to Kali, Best choice ever

hey gys i need an programm crack wifi you can help me ?

First of all, I advise you to search for information about backtrack (as the title of the thread, yes !). It’s a good starting point.
