This post will show you how to Install backtrack repo in ubuntu – I got an HP mini netbook a couple of days ago. I’m mostly going to use it to check sites at home in IE; but it will also have another use: hacking =)
I need to check the sites I make to check they are as secure as they can possibly be. I was going to use Backtrack linux for this; backtrack has almost every possible tool to test almost every kind of area on your site and your network. there is only one problem: its not ubuntu, so it doesnt get updated and doesnt have the resources that ubuntu does.
there is a solution that I found by reading this zimbo.com and changing it slightly; basically you
- install ubuntu
- add the backtrack repo to ubuntu /etc/sources.list
deb http://archive.offensive-security.com pwnsauce main microverse macroverse restricted universe multiverse
wget -q http://archive.offensive-security.com/backtrack.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
apt-get update
- install all the backtrack goodies =)
Im just downloading ubuntu 10.04 with unetbootin and am about to install it to my new netbook since it doesnt have an optical drive =)
