Backtrack Live CD
Hey Hey,
A new live cd has been released by the creators of two famous security bootables, WHAX and Auditor. The new project, called Backtrack, launched it's first beta this weekend.
After playing with the CD I must say that I'm rather impressed. The collection of tools is extensive, everything is easy to find. I will say that if you boot the GUI, remember that not everything available is in your 'start menu' explore the directories a little and you'll find plenty of other little toys to experiment with.
Backtrack is built, as WHAX was, on SLAX (slackware live cd). Since it follows the SLAX format, you can load modules in much the same way. Irongeek has created a create tutorial on how to add these modules in and how to obtain more modules. You can find his tutorial @ http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=videos/myslax.
The website for Backtrack, with several download mirrors, is available @ http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/BackTrack. I have also placed a mirror to the beta iso on one of my server and you can obtain it from http://www.aoaddicts.net/backtrack/backtrack-beta-05022006.iso if you find their mirrors bogged down.
I plan to play with the CD some more, maybe create some tutorials based on it... however it is fairly completely and a handy tool to have around.
Peace,
HT
