I used backtrack on a macbook to hack all the wireless networks surrounding me and works great

I hate that. I spent ages last night downloading BT3 and installing it on a 2GB Stick.

That is twice now that this has happened. Before was with Auditor. I want a refund of my missing sleep. Bummed but looking forward toward another too little sleep night.

At last a use for Backtrack!. I’m also very happy they’ve moved away from Slackware and are focusing on Debian (which is my distro of choice).

I am also very pleased with regards to the rainbow table lookup function, too.

Well done Remote-Exploit.

Backtrack is awesome. Takes some time to get used to using, but once you know what to do you have a whole arsenal of tools.

same here, downloaded the live-iso; it’s up and running but i’m not getting inside. could someone give me a pointer at where to look for the login?

root/toor, just like it says on the screen.

I love Backtrack. i have it loaded on a pen drive to keep with me everywhere. Very Handy. I’ll check out the new beta!

Any news if BCM43xx is supported? (would download but don’t have possibility right now)

I just bought a MSI GX630-028US laptop and I was disappointed that BT3 didn’t work on it. But this version worked, didn’t recognize the internal wireless card but I’ve got an external one that does.

does anybody know, how much these Pico cards cost? They all have at least a virtex-4 pfga and a PowerPC Processor inside => my guess 1500$ for the smallest one.

@Baxter

Regarding b43, are you using a custom
firmware or did you just extract it from
a windoz driver?

@TJHooker

Not really. Most clusters out there are
beowulf Linux. I must admit though that
there were a lot more some years ago.
The multicore battle changed all the game.

At the time I enjoyed a lot installing
OpenMOSIX Linux on all boxens of my
classroom. Too bad openmosix lost
interest on this days..

Anyway, backtrack provides some forensics
tools also, not just attack tools.
IMHO, this is a nice way to promote
Linux and some of their tools to
interested people. At least I like it a lot
to do Linux demonstrations at local schools.

does any body know if the intell wireless wifi link 5100 card works with bt3/bt4.

@TJHooker

I believe you, although I’m more familiar
with the Academic environment.

I cannot agree with you though about BT4
being ineffective against NT networks. As
you know, published vulnerabilities take
a lot of time to be patched by the non
perfect windows update system..

The metasploit framework does a pretty
good job bringing up all the holes for you.

John-the-ripper can bruteforce NTLM
passwords, nikto can scan IIS servers
(not only) for “old” stuff.

wireshark is full of nice heuristics that
helps you on what to look for.

ettercap is essential for MITM attacks and
exploiting hostile traffic.

aircrack, kismet ….

Now I would like to hear about a windoz
livecd specialized in network forensics
from you. What about using it to crack
UNIX boxens?

Oh.. right..

@wardarts: works good on a t42 without any modifications. I’ve used 2-4 on it.

@n00bhunter: Yeah but you gotta think most active researchers are doing most of their work in debuggers and with assembler based on the NT memory maps.

I know gcc and some virtual environments can do a lot, but run time debugging and dumping based on an nt environment isn’t even remotely implemented.

When it comes to protocol reversal and black boxing software or hardware I know linux and bsd dominate for many reasons, one being it’s mostly open and ready driver framework.

I’m having a problem with asus n10 notebook backtrack4 doesnt seem to be detecting the wireless. I was really hoping to have some fun with backtrack :(. Anybody have an idea how to fix this / install drivers?

Thanks!

awesome, i just booted it in vm, everything works great, its very fast, i couldn’t believe its on debian now, so i did `cat /etc/deb and WOW!

e-z way to crack wep …… idiot proof …
start bt…. once your in open console(little black box at the bottom left corner type..
op
“airmon-ng ”
see what the name of your interface is…
in my case it shows two wifi0 and ath0 the two are the same next type
“airmon-ng stop ath0″
so ath0 does not exist any more now we got to start a new one.type
“airmon-ng start wifi0″
great now you just put your card in monitor mode yay now we can find a network to crack
now type
“airodump-ng ath0″
you will get a list of networks and clients
find one with the wep encryption … (you need at least a signal strength of at least 10 …) k all you need is the bssid hit ctrl and X on your key board highlight it . right click copy note the channel it is on
go to the bottom left of the screen open the menu go to backtrack/radio…./802…./all plug your info in you don’t need a client … select the channel then injection to max
and find spoonwep open it and you will figure it out
anyoone feel free to correct me if im wrong

anyone have instructions on how to use 4 beta version ? or where to get them?

thanks

Guys – for those of you who are having issues burning the .iso in nero take a look at this article: http://www.resolvesolutions.co.uk/article/backtrack_4_dvd_.iso_burning

Just wondering, but at the startup, instead of typing: startx Has anyone had success with using the: bt4-crystal option? I get a screen, but the “startbar” and top bar are just boxes, with nothing in them. Am I the only one having this problem?

-just wondering. Haven’t tried a re installation.
-using the .iso file. through qemu on a windows xp comp.

I am new, BT4 Final version istalled successfuly with VMware. But at prompt when I type root, message- root not installed. if need to install root, type: apt-get xxx xxxx. but when I try to install root, some error. so anyone have any idea how can I get root installation? my card is intel 5100 AGN, BT4 final in Vmware.vista.
Also I cannot actiavate my network(wifi) card through /etc/de.d/networsts start…

Thanks for reply

I.ve been trying to run BT3 in live mode of the CD
but I keep getting a split screen (three horizontal columns)Has anybody else had this problem? If so what’s the remedy?

It intstalls on the Dell 15 Studio series but the card is limited in its functions(no injection). You need a special Broadcom driver. Even got wpa_supplicant working on this Dell.

Had to order a usb adapter card that can handle injection and work with all the tools BT4 has. I heard the ALFA AWUS036H works great. I’ll be testing it soon.

any BT4 expert hire? pls. add me on yahoo messenger, its klang808 thx

need back track 4 please send me

Hello Friends!
I have read all the post on this page and must admit that I am impressed with your knowledge. I am new to the world of BT4. I have got a MacBook pro with intel core duo and would love to have BT4 up and running. Plesae point me in the right direction as to what else i will need to make it work VM wise and network card wise. Thanks

thanks! very helpful post!! like the template btw ;)

Hi, I’m new to this and having problems loading BT4. I’m loading from a DVD, It starts to load then gets to root@bt: and stops. What am I doing wrong?

Steve, type startx then hit enter.

I have a problem installing backtrack4, I’m not very used to this type of software. I can’t get past the user name login , the keyboard won’t type for the password. I redid it several times it’s always the same. I looked at my bios and it doesn’t seem like an obvious reason. Could you give me an answer to this it’s probably and easy one.

I have downloaded it and made a live Cd (USB),during its installation on my hard drive,step 4 & 5 were missing but it installed.
When i boot it up it shows
bt4 login :
Ive tried every probabilities but nothing worked on it.
Could anyone please help !!!!!
