For those new to BackTrack.

At a lot of security related forums I see 2 questions asked often concerning people who are new to Linux and decided to use BackTrack.

Question 1: Where to download BackTrack.

BackTrack is free and can be downloaded from the following link: Download

Question 2:How do I open the KDE?

On the command line type:

Quote:startx

Question 3: My internet does not work why?

BackTrack is meant for pen testing and therefore requires you to start up the networking utility. You do this by opening a shell and typing:

Quote:/etc/init.d/networking start

This is a very good thread, I encourage more people to ask questions here so that they can be updated in the thread by Kitt3n.

No problem at all. As just stated in a different topic I am happy to see the way you want this forum to go.

adding a download link for the backtrack would help.

In order to use Backtrack (live) to crack into local wifi networks, you must have a built-in and supported wifi chipset.
Also, i highly recommend backtrack live over the installation, because it is more portable and you can use it on any laptop with a wifi card.

Didn't know backtrack had a gui. Anyways, I hope to see you add more stuff to the guide in the future. this will help me learn a bit more about security trying to crack my own stuff. xD

I'm pretty sure BT has always had a GUI.

BT4 actually uses 3 User Interfaces KDE, Bash and Fluxbox.

Edit: Had bash spelled as bask.
