A note from the Developers

It's taken us almost 5 months to pull ourselves out of the beta stage. Every time we thought we were done, a new idea or improvement would surface, and we just *had* to implement it. Many features were added, and many of the old (yet persistent) bugs were fixed.

We honestly believe that BackTrack v 2.0 Final is the leanest, meanest and sexiest version to come out and hope that you enjoy using it as much as we did making it.

Wireless Attacks @ their best

  • We included a bunch of new drivers into the latest release and were able to make the desired packet injection functionalities to a wider audience.
  • By supporting the new ALFA USB hi-power devices, there is now a great USB wireless dongle available which allows us to connect an external antenna and use BackTrack to attack even on an Intel Macbook or VMware
  • Broadcom 43xx based cards should be able to inject - a bit sloppy but should work.
  • The following drivers are now on our CD:
    • madwifi-ng (Patched for Injection)
    • hostap (Patched for Injection)
    • prism54 (Patched for Injection)
    • bcm43xx (Patched for Injection)
    • rtl8180 (Patched for Injection)
    • rtl8187 (Patched for Injection)
    • ipw2200 (Patched for Injection)
    • rt2570 (ASPj's Drivers)
    • rt2500
    • rt61
    • rt73
    • ipw2100
    • ipw3945
    • acx100
    • zd1211rw

Faster @ Work

  • Most of our Main-menu entries have a grouping "All" menu, which allows the experienced user to quickly find a tool.
  • Less experienced users are guided through the new menu structure to find the right tools for the right tasks.

Alignment to Open Standards and Frameworks

  • Being superior while staying easy to use is key to a good security live cd. We took things a step further and aligned BackTrack to Penetration Testing Methodologies and Assessment Frameworks (ISSAF and OSSTMM). This will help our professional users during their daily reporting nightmares.
  • The most obvious alignment can be seen in the menu structure and framework documentation that has been included into BackTrack.
  • We suggest that you take your time to read the Frameworks, especially the ISSAF methodology guide.
  • Unfortunately we were not able to include a newer OSSTMM paper because they did not release it to the public.
