I have already successfully completed the Ubuntu and windows 8 dual boot but now I am trying to add backtrack and my computer (Hp 2000 Notebook pc) will not even see my backtrack files. I am trying to install backtrack from a usb and I have already "Extracted"(yes I know) the iso file.

Im thinking about getting this adapter for backtrack http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-AWUS036H-Wireless-Long-Rang-Panel/dp/B003YI4HRM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1330456917&sr=8-3 Because it supports packet injection. Do you guys recommend a better adapter and why? Thanks

In Backtrack I entered this command : vi /etc/network/interfaces And then set these lines : iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 Saved and exited, then restarted my OS. But when I enter ifconfig command, it shows me that the: inet addr :192.168.1.105 Why ? I am sure that the previous vi command is saved because when I again enter command: vi /etc/network/interfaces the result shows me that: iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 gateway 192.168.1.1

I have been using my backtrack version 5 on the Virtualbox for some time now but I had a resolution problem and after searching found out I better install VirtualGuest additions. However after installing it startx does not work anymore and gives me segmentation fault. as follows: Segmentation fault at address 0x7f7b26129800 caught signal 11(segmentation fault). Server aborting Please consult the http://wiki.x.org foundation support Please check the log file at "var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. ddxSigGiveUp: closing log giving up. xinit: no such file or directory (errno 2). unable to connect to x server. xinit: no such process (errno 3). Server error.

I install Backtrack 5 in virtualbox, and I get the error message Host Memory Low

I've just installed Backtrack 5 r3 (Gnome, 64bits) on my new machine but I am kind of facing a problem. I tried installing ATI driver, gparted, and libc for 32-bit support and I always seem to be getting a common error line with all of them: > W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168f-2.fw for > module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware > /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168f-1.fw for module r8169 What is this problem, and how can it be fixed? If you want more information, please make a comment EDIT:

I'm trying to generate a wordlist in order to use it to bruteforce my own Truecrypt container. I do know parts of the password, its built up using blocks of other known passwords to increase length, but I forgot in which order the blocks were used and if some blocks weren't used at all. Example "blocks" separated with space: dog cat bird xyz cow1 lion8 What I would like to do is create a wordlist containing each possible combination of these blocks. E.g dog cat dogcat catdog bird dogbird catbird birdcat birddog dogcatbird catdogbird xyz dogcatbirdxyz cow1 xyzcow1dogcat xyzcow1dogcatbird catdogbirdxyzcow8 lion8 catdogbirdxyzcow1lion8 lion8catdogbirdxyzcow1 dogcatbirdxyzcow1lion8 cow1birddogcatxyzlion8 cow1lion8birddogcatxyz ... So far I've tried to utilize a tool called crunch: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=backtrack-r1-man-pages/crunch But the challenge seems to be how one should generate combinations of shorter combinations, not including all known blocks, example: dogcat only includes 2 blocks. Perhaps someone know crunch better than me, or if I should use another tool or combination of tools?

I am using Backtrack 5. As it is based on Ubuntu 10.04 I decided to ask my question to here: I'm having problems selecting text with my mouse. For example when I try to rename a folder, sometimes I can successfully highlight the text but when I release the mouse button, it is no longer highlighted. Sometimes I can't even successfully highlight the part of the text that I want. It highlights more or less of the text then actually selected. First I thought it was a problem caused by my mouse, however, I tried another mouse and the problem continues. This problem really bothers me while surfing on the net. Could you please help me?

I have installed backtrack 5r3 in one hard disk partition alongside with windows7 in another partition in Acer Aspire V3-571 laptop having "Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57785 Gigabit Ether" integrated wireless card. My problem is I could not make WiFi working in my laptop even after trying a lot of command and methods found by googling. I downloaded tg3 driver from broadcom website and hopefully installed it but all in vain. In some forum I found that some guys having the same issue with Broadcom 43XXX seriers wireless card had fixed their issue by using some sta driver package by broadcom specific for 43XXX series, but I noticed I have 57XXX series wireless card not the same. I could not find any working solution for BCM57785 wireless card.

Here's the specs. Sandisk Cruzer 4GB USB 2.0 Existing OS: Windows XP Professional SP3 Hardware: Intel Pentinium 4 Xeon Class (x86 F15 M2 S4) [1.8Ghz] IBM Thinkpad T-Series T30 So what I am wanting to do is, put backtrack onto the usb and run it like the usb was a hard drive. This way it doesn't affect the physical machine and doesn't erase the current OS. Is there a way of doing this?

i have installed Kali-Linux in virtual box, but i am struggling to make my wifi work for almost 3-4 days. i have tried few things, out of which best options are listed below : https://askubuntu.com/questions/331667/no-wireless-for-intel-corporation-7260-version-63 https://askubuntu.com/questions/433539/intel-7260-works-during-installation-but-not-after-reboot But nothing is working for me, i cannot see my wifi card in iwconfig.

I have a BackTrack5 r3 installed on VMware. As you see below I have internet access in it : root@bt:~# ping www.google.com PING www.google.com (173.194.70.105) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from fa-in-f105.1e100.net (173.194.70.105): icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=205 ms 64 bytes from fa-in-f105.1e100.net (173.194.70.105): icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=208 ms 64 bytes from fa-in-f105.1e100.net (173.194.70.105): icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=208 ms 64 bytes from fa-in-f105.1e100.net (173.194.70.105): icmp_seq=4 ttl=128 time=209 ms ^C --- www.google.com ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 205.799/208.145/209.851/1.473 ms The question is, why when I try to use **apt-get update** command, I receive error?! root@bt:~# apt-get update Err http://32.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution Release.gpg Could not connect to 32.repository.backtrack-linux.org:80 (50.7.55.50). - connect (111: Connection refused) Err http://32.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/main Translation-en_US Unable to connect to 32.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://32.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/microverse Translation-en_US Unable to connect to 32.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://32.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/non-free Translation-en_US Unable to connect to 32.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://32.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/testing Translation-en_US Unable to connect to 32.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://source.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution Release.gpg Could not connect to source.repository.backtrack-linux.org:80 (50.7.55.50). - connect (111: Connection refused) Err http://source.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/main Translation-en_US Unable to connect to source.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://source.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/microverse Translation-en_US Unable to connect to source.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://source.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/non-free Translation-en_US Unable to connect to source.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://source.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/testing Translation-en_US Unable to connect to source.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution Release.gpg Could not connect to all.repository.backtrack-linux.org:80 (50.7.55.50). - connect (111: Connection refused) Err http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/main Translation-en_US Unable to connect to all.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/microverse Translation-en_US Unable to connect to all.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/non-free Translation-en_US Unable to connect to all.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Err http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/testing Translation-en_US Unable to connect to all.repository.backtrack-linux.org:http: Reading package lists...

I tried to open source.repository.backtrack-linux.org with my internet browsers, but I receive The requested URL could not be retrieved and Unable to connect. So I guess the origin of the problem is in the Backtrack support. but what shall I do now?

I purchased USB Wireless adapter which runs smoothly on **Windows** and **Ubuntu**, but in BackTrack it's showing me a **Bad password** issue. From my reading I guess it's driver issue which BackTrack Kernel don't have drivers for RTL8191SU (my) Adapter. The Realtek site have drivers for kernels 2.6-2.9. Even thought BackTrack 5R3 comes with 3.2.6, I tried to compile drivers which failed for me with **make** errors. Additionally I can't get monitor mode in aircrack suite.

I would like to start off by saying that I am aware that there are many similar questions, however none have an answer that has solved my problem. Anyways, here's the problem: I have an HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF running Windows 7 x64 with an inbuilt Intel processor - which has its own graphics - and I have a separate nVIDIA graphics card. I am trying to install BackTrack5 r3 via a live USB. However, when I boot into the BackTrack live USB and attempt to open the default text option, commands are executed for a few seconds before I get the following error: fb: conflicting fb hw usage nouveau vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver After this, the BackTrack live USB/installation is frozen. I cannot do anything, and to proceed I have to force-shutdown my computer and turn it back on. I have tried everything that I have seen on the internet, but to no avail. I have tried, along with their results: - Passing i915.modeset=1/i915.modeset=0 - I get "Attached SCSI removable media", after which I can type, however what I enter has no effect - Passing nomodeset - Has no effect - Disabling KMS/passing nouveau.modeset=0 - Has no effect - Uninstalling nouveau driver/blacklisting nouveau driver/startx - Can't get to that point - Anything else that involves Terminal or commands - Again, can't get to that point - Reinstalling nVIDIA drivers from their website - Installs the same as any other nVIDIA driver with no additional options, makes no difference - Formatting the live USB and installing it again (with different builds) - Makes no difference - Disabling Intel graphics through BIOS - BIOS is password-protected with a password I don't know (planning to reset BIOS/CMOS password through motherboard soon) - Using a non-deprecated/still-supported OS similar to BackTrack - I don't want an OS like BackTrack, I want BackTrack itself and nothing else I have no other Linux operating system installed on my computer. I am otherwise fully prepared for a dual-boot. Below are my system specs: Motherboard: HP 611834-001 CPU: Intel i5-2400 @ 3.1 GHz RAM: 8GB GPU: GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB I would hate to have to remove/disable my external graphics card for BackTrack to work, so any solutions that don't require that would be thoroughly appreciated. If I could remove this driver that's causing problems in Windows, even if it means disabling inbuilt Intel graphics, that would be optimal. I apologize for the wall of text, and thank you in advance for your help.

I've installed BackTrack 5 R3, a security testing distro, onto a USB drive, and I can get it to boot up, but I'm stuck in the BusyBox shell. Everybody says "just log in with username root and password toor, then type startx to launch the GUI, but startx reports "command not found". I've tried various commands such as "login" and "sh", but no luck. sudo is out of the question, too. I suspect that I need to mount the system squashfs somehow, but I can't figure out how I'm supposed to do it. I haven't had much experience with SFS's before.

One hard disk (sda), two partitions, with a working Ubuntu running. 1) /boot 2) LVM with this virtual volumes/partions/ or whatever they are called inside: 1. Swap 2. Ubuntu 3. Home 4. Prepared for Backtrack Of course I would like to share home and swap. I have seen tutorials, but they look outdated and complicated and they are for setting up everything just with backtrack. It seems you have to do some things manually after backtrack install to get it running with LUKS. I like to know what it is exactly that backtrack don't do automatically and how to install backtrack in my prepared partition. I want to tell backtrack NOT to install a boot-loader (I think it's possible) and setup the grub from Ubuntu to be able to boot backtrack.

I am trying to run the command to configure DDosim https://sourceforge.net/projects/ddosim/ . I have installed Libnet0 and Libnet0-Dev . But when i try to enter command like root@bt:~/ddosim# sudo ./configure It simply says Command Not Found. Any idea what could be the issue ?

I have a computer with Linux BackTrack 5 as host and Windows XP as guest on virtual box. I am using Host-Only-Adapter to create virtual LAN and to share USB modem internet as well so that both host and guest are simultaneously connected to internet via single USB modem. Since my WAN IP address dynamically changes, I am using a host-name from no-ip.com to identify my dynamic WAN IP address. With this settings I am able to get meterpreter session using windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp_dns payload (and port 80) every time I execute payload.exe from Windows XP guest. However, when I execute payload.exe from other Windows XP computer that is on a real LAN, outside my computer, I never get meterpreter sessions. What makes me confused is that the connection is established from netstat on target computer. In this state, if I leave target computer and back to Linux server and scan it with nmap to check port 80 then it said that the port is closed (even though session was not created). Thus: 1) Why weren't the meterpreter sessions created on Linux server while target machine (temporarily) said that connection was established and port 80 on Linux computer is closed as well? (I said temporarily because after several minutes if I check again the netstat on target computer the connection is disappear but port 80 on Linux is still closed.) 2) If server on real-LAN was block the port then why netstat on target computer said that connection was established? if ISP block the port then why I can do it from virtual box? 3) Is it port-forwarding issue? but I doubt since I only use USB dongle and I can do it on virtual box without port-forwarding. 4) Is my 3G USB broadband connection speed not fast enaugh? has anybody success using Metasploit with USB modem?

I've been dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu for about 4 months and I got on it today to change the default boot on grub, because my girlfriend kept getting locked out when it reboots and, by default, goes to the Ubuntu partition. I tried using the command promt. I used [the command found here](http://launchintolinux.wordpress.com/2013/03/09/how-to-change-the-default-os-in-an-ubuntu-dual-boot-setup/) which was sudo gedit /etc/default/grub That didn't appear to do anything so I changed the grub using the file manager and changed "Default grub=4" which, is the boot I was supposed to use... This led to my Windows 7 partition dissapearing from the boot list, somehow, although all files are still showing up on the OS (checked through Ubuntu) and System Recovery shows my latest restore, attempted to restore and said it should be working.. So I'm assuming its hidden in some way? I'm using BT5R3. /etc/default/grub: # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
