Backtrack Basics
Bt4 introduced many significant changes based on Ubuntu
Intrepid. Now we start to use our modified Ubuntu software package and penetration testing tool software.
Maintain all our own software warehouses.
Another major change is to update Linux
Core version 2.6.29.4. This new core brings about a set of internal system changes, greatly changing the backtrack
.
Core of backtrack
Squashfs in lzma format is no longer used as live
CD file system, resulting in a larger capacity of ISO files. But from another point of view, this also makes us
We do not need to maintain our core patch issues. At present, this is very painful because squashfs is very slow to integrate into the mainstream core.
Bt4 uses squashfs-Tools version
4.0. the built-in squashfs core module (2.6.29.4) is incompatible with the old version. The aufs format is used
Unified File System ).
The core has installed several Wireless Driver injection and optimization patches and bootsplash
Patches, which can be found in the core source code package. (/Usr/src/Linux/patches)
These changes mean that many methods used in bt2/bt3 are no longer valid, such as the cheatcodes parameter at startup.
Because of the Core transfer, we no longer use the live-Linux script to generate ISO files. Now we use Casper.
Software packages and software warehouses
One of the biggest changes in bt4 is the use of software repositories, which can often update security patches and tools, similar to Debian. This means that if you choose to install bt4 on the hard disk,
You can use the apt-GET command to maintain and update your software package.
Bt4 tool software has the following categories:
Backtrack-Enumeration
Backtrack-tunneling
Backtrack-bruteforce
Backtrack-Spoofing
Backtrack-passwords
Backtrack-Wireless
Backtrack-discovery
Backtrack-Cisco
Backtrack-web applicaitons
Backtrack-Forensics
Backtrack-fuzzers
Backtrack-Bluetooth
Backtrack-Misc
Backtrack-sniffers
Backtrack-VoIP
Backtrack-debuggers
Backtrack-Penetration
Backtrack-Database
Backtrack-RFID
Backtrack-Python
Backtrack-Drivers
Backtrack-GPU
Meta packages
A good feature of tool software classification is that we can support "backtrack meta packages ".
A Meta package is a virtual package,
It can contain several other software packages. For example, the meta package "backtrack-web"
It can include all web penetration testing tool applications provided by bt4.
Meta Software Package
There are two meta packages: backtrack-world and backtrack-desktop.
Backtrack-world contains all the backtrack meta packages
Backtrack-desktop includes backtrack-World, backtrack-networking
And backtrack-mulimedia. The next two meta packages are from Ubuntu
Introduced.
Up and running with backtrack
We created the name "Up and running
The backtrack short film shows general and unusual features.

Run bt4
Special usage of kde3
Bt4 contains "imposed" kde3, and kde4 Ubuntu
The intrepid library is stored in the same memory. Bt4 uses kde3. Remember that all kde3 packages have the suffix "kde3", which can be distinguished from kde4.
For example, if you want to install the Kate text editor in Kde, you must apt-Get install
Kate-kde3 (install Kate in kde3 ),
Instead of APT-get Kate (install Kate in kde4 ).
Manual Update Tool
The bt4 software repository tries its best to update the latest version of the tool software, with few exceptions. These "special" software is updated frequently by their authors, and some include
Significant updates. We feel that it is useless to create static binary files for these types of tools. Users of these software should use SVN for Synchronous updates. These tools include
MSF, w2af, nikto, etc.
FAQs
-Ubiquity installer gave an error "language failed with exit code 10". Why?
-Ignore it. Believe me.
-Why is bt4's ISO file so large? What is the size of only half of previous versions?
-We tried to keep BT at 700 mb for a long time. However, this is too challenging and miserable. We decided to break this restriction for the following reasons:
1. We no longer use the squashfs compressed by lzma, which greatly increases the size of the image file.
2. CD is no longer an ideal medium for running bt4 in the live environment, and the USB flash drive is faster and more reliable.
-Why is this version called "pre-release "? Is it not stable enough?
-This is the most robust backtrack version. Speaking of this, it is difficult to find some buckets. When we ran the atheros Nic for 40 hours, we noticed the wireless frame crash,
The reason is a defective patch. It is impossible to test the running status of each driver and each hardware. This is why we need your participation (on the Forum ).
-Why is it based on Ubuntu?
-Read the blog post.
Http://backtrack4.blogspot.com/2009/01/philosophical-thoughts-about-backtrack.html
-I have installed bt4 on the hard disk. How can I log on?
-Log On with the username/password created during the installation process. After logon, sudo
Su: updates the root password. See this video:
