BackBox Linux 1 Final Release!
Posted by cdupuis on Wednesday, 05 January 2011 @ 20:58:26 EST (2306 reads)
Topic Linux Distro for testers

If you carry around BackTrack on a USB drive, you might as well take the BackBox for a spin.Yes, it does not have those many tools that the former LiveCD does, but given the time and effort, it will probably reach there.

The BackBox is based on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx, running a Linux kernel v2.6.32 with Xfce 4.6.1. It provides a complete desktop experience, coupled with a simplified usage of the system resources making it suitable in situations where speed is a crucial factor. BackBox is designed to be an useful and simple tool for Penetration Testing. It also supports themes such as – Thunar, GDM and the Plymouth theme.

This is the updated change log:

  • New ISO image (32bit & 64bit)
  • System upgrade
  • Performance boost (using cgroup, the notorious “4 lines of code better than 200? in user-space)
  • New look and feel
  • Improved start menu
  • Hacking tools new or updated: Aircrack-ng 1.1, Metasploit Framework 3.5.1, OpenVAS 3, SET 1.1, SkipFish 1.84b, SqlMap 0.9, w3af 1.0-rc4, etc.
  • Bug fixes

Download BackBox Linux 1 FinalRelease (backbox-1-i386.iso) here.

New Linux testing Distro called GnackTrack using GNOME instead of KDE
Posted by cdupuis on Tuesday, 09 November 2010 @ 22:18:59 EST (1741 reads)
Topic Linux Distro for testers

GnackTrack is a Live (and installable) Linux distribution designed for Penetration Testing and is based on Ubuntu. Although this sounds like BackTrack, it is most certainly not; it's very similar but based on the much loved GNOME!

REMEMBER - GnackTrack is, and always will be, completely free! But, should you feel the need to help please provide testing information and feedback either via email or on the community page.

For more information and specifics please read the FAQs or send me an email

News GnackTrack Final is here! 20/10/2010

It's been exactly one month since RC1 release and here we have the final version of GnackTrack. This version should be pretty much bug free and stable. This version now has language and keyboard support for those not using English. To get your copy please go to the downloads page.

WackoPicko Target! 21/09/2010

Ok so what's the point of having all these great apps within GnackTrack if you don't have anything to test them against? Well we have created both a live CD and VM image of WackoPicko[information] to save you the hard work. Information on WackoPicko can be found here[pdf]. To download either the VM or LiveCD please go to the downloads page

2. Extract Katana to the root of the USB flash drive; example "E:" (Windows) or "/mount/sdb1" (Linux). (DO NOT extract into a subdirectory on the flash drive).

3. Change directory to the freshly copied "boot" directory on the USB device. (Make sure you're in the "boot" directory on the USB device and NOT your local disk! )

4. Run the following with Administrative privileges. For Linux/OSX run ./boostinst.sh, for Windows run ./boostinst.bat

5. Make sure computer BIOS allows USB boot. Boot from flash drive. All Done!

 
Usage

Katana Bootable

Power down the host device. Plug in the Katana disk (flash drive) into the host device. (Make sure computer BIOS allows USB boot.) Select the USB drive from the BOIS boot menu or change the BIOS so that the USB is a higher priority than the hard disk. This is often accomplished by hiting 'F12' or 'Esc' during the boot processs.

Katana



Booting from flash drive should result in the above menu. Use the arrow keys to navigate to the distribution you wish to boot. See the documentation provided in Katana for more information on the functions of the individual distributions.

Katana V1.5 has been released -- A Linux multiboot DVD
Posted by cdupuis on Wednesday, 03 March 2010 @ 08:51:03 EST (1872 reads)

Katana v1.5 Release

   Updated: 03/02/2010

Katana



Katana v1.5 (Z@toichi) has been released! (Click here for Katana project page) After several months of work and some reconsiderations of the pre-packaged tools, this award winning project has a new release. This release has a couple of major changes to the disto list and the introduction of the Katana Tool Kit. The new version should be much more friendly for all the Windows users out there. The addition of the Katana Tool Kit should make using all the portable Windows apps much easier. Another key addition to Katana is a USB write blocker to prevent that pesky anti-virus from deleting some of the tools. Katana can be Downloaded directly or through it's Torrent.

What is Katana? For those who are not familiar with the project, Katana combines hundreds of security tools to run off a single USB thumb drive. Katana brings together many of the best security distributions (Backtrack, Ophcrack, UBCD, Trinity Rescue Kit, Derik's Boot and Nuke, etc.) along side hundreds of portable Windows applications (Wireshark, HiJackThis, OllyDBG, The Sleuth Kit, ClamAV, FindSSN, AngryIP , etc.) to form a Portable Multi-Boot Security Suite. Katana includes distributions and Windows applications which focus on Pen-Testing, Auditing, Forensics, System Recovery, Network Analysis, Malware Removal and more.

Katana is also highly customizable. One of the major goals in the project was to develop an environment where users could tailor Katana to their needs. Users can customize Katana by adding and removing Distros and Portable Applications with relative ease. The best resource for these sorts of modifications is the Hack From A Cave Forum.

- Distros Line-Up -


The line-up this time around is as follows: Backtrack 4 , the Ultimate Boot CD , Ultimate Boot CD for Windows , Ophcrack Live , Puppy Linux , Kaspersky Live , Trinity Rescue Kit , Clonezilla and , Derik's Boot and Nuke. Users can still customize Katana to add thier favorite distros using the instructions posted here.

There has been a major overhaul in the distros which come pre-loaded with Katana. A lot of this overhaul was due to interests on the forum. Thank you to all the requests and posts we've had. Fear not, instructions on installing all the distros from v1.0 can still be found on the Forum

   
Removed
Got Root? Slax Slax is not being included by default, but Katana users are encouraged to add a Slax based distro and modules to fill in some of the gaps in functionality in the included distrso.
OSWA Assistant Due to the overlap in functionality between this distro and other distros this project has been removed.
Damn Small Linux This project does not appear to be supported anymore.
Damn Vulnerable Linux While this distro is great for learning purposes, it is not as useful for field use.
   
Added
Kaspersky Live Added some anti-virues capabilities to the distro list.
Trinity Rescue Kit Some additional tools for recovery and repair operations on Windows machines
Clonezilla Clone and backup any system.
Puppy Puppy was added to replace DSL. Puppy seems to be better supported.
Derik's Boot and Nuke Quickly erase a disk.
   
Updated
Backtrack Moved from "Backtrack 4 pre" to "Backtrack 4".



- Katana Tool Kit -

 

The Katana Tool Kit (KTK) is a suite of Windows applications which can be run of a USB Flash Drive. Without the need for installation on the base system, users can bring a suite of uncompromised tools with them anywhere. Tools like Wireshark, HiJackThis, Firefox, PuTTY, Unstoppable Copier, OllyDBG, ProcessActivityView, SniffPass Password Sniffer, ClamAV, Undelete Plus, IECookiesView, MozillaCacheView, FreeOTFE, The PC Decrapifier, FindSSN, The Sleuth Kit, and OpenOffice. There are over 100 unique projects included in the KTK.

(See the full list of tools here)

The KTK facilitates fast access to all the Katana Windows applications. The applications are broken down into the following categories: Anti-Virus, Backup, Encryption, File System, Forensics, Media, Networking, Office, Recovery, Registry, System, Utilities. Each project provides unique functionality to the various categories listed above.

The KTK also facilitates the easy addition of other portable applications. By simply installing applications to a sub-folder of the "PortableApps" directory, your favorite applications will appear in the KTK the next time it is launched.
Katana Tool Kit



In Katana v.1.5, several new utilities have also been added to the Katana Tool Kit:

NEW Windows Applications for Katana v1.5
Application Description
GNUWin32 The GnuWin32 project provides Win32-versions of GNU tools, or tools with a similar open source license. The ports are native ports, that is they rely only on libraries provided with any standard 32-bits MS-Windows operating system.
Forensic Acquisition Utilities This is a collection of utilities and libraries By George M. Garner Jr. is intended for forensic or forensic-related investigative use in a modern Microsoft Windows environment. The components in this collection are intended to permit the investigator to sterilize media for forensic duplication, discover where logical volume information is located and to collect the evidence from a running computer system while at the same time ensuring data integrity (e.g. with a cryptographic checksums) and while minimizing distortive alterations to the subject system.
Angry IP Angry IP Scanner (or simply ipscan) is an open-source and cross-platform network scanner designed to be fast and simple to use. It scans IP addresses and ports as well as has many other features
The Sleuth Kit The Sleuth Kit (TSK) is a library and collection of command line tools that allow you to investigate volume and file system data.
SpyDLLRemover SpyDLLRemover is the standalone tool to effectively detect and delete spywares from the system. It comes with advanced spyware scanner which quickly discovers hidden Rootkit processes as well suspcious/injected DLLs within all running processes.
Eraser Eraser Portable is a secure data removal tool that runs directly from your iPod, USB thumbdrive, portable hard drive or any other portable media. You can plug it right into any Windows computer and use it just like you would on your own. It is a repackaged version of the popular Eraser utility designed with portability in mind, so it has all the same great features of Eraser, but there's nothing to install.
VLC VLC Media Player Portable is the popular VLC media player packaged as a portable app, so you can take your audio and video files along with everything you need to play them on the go.
InfraRecorder InfraRecorder Portable is the popular InfraRecorder CD/DVD burning program packaged as a portable app, so you can do your disk burning on the go. It has all the same great features of InfraRecorder including the creation of custom data, audio and mixed-mode projects and recording them to physical discs as well as disc images.
SiteShoter SiteShoter is a small utility that allows you to save a screenshot of any Web page into a file. It automatically creates hidden window of Internet Explorer, loads the desired Web page, and than save the entire content of the Web page into an image file (.png, .jpg, .tiff, .bmp or .gif). You can also use SiteShoter to convert .html file on your local drive into image file.
uTorrent uTorrent is the world's most popular BitTorrent client. Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in uTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet).
gVim gVim Portable is a feature-rich and not-too-hard-to-use text editor, and a very feature rich one at that. With gVim you can code, highlight syntax, and do everything else you would expect of a text editor worth its weight in megabytes.
Ophcrack Ophcrack is a free Windows password cracker based on rainbow tables. It is a very efficient implementation of rainbow tables done by the inventors of the method. It comes with a Graphical User Interface and runs on multiple platforms.



- USB Write Blocker -


A USB write blocker application has been added to help prevent malware installing on the USB Flash Drive and to prevent the anti-virus from deleting any of the totally awesome apps from the Katana Tool Kit. By running the MakeUSBReadOnly.bat on mount, unmounting and remounting the drive, going about you business, and running MakeUSBWritable.bat after you are done, you can prevent most interference by applications on the base OS.

- Misilanious Changes -


- Added drive logo.
- Changed directory for user data from "home" to "Documents".
- Modified boot menu to add scrolling.

RUSSIX Linix Distro -- It brings memory back from the good old Auditor Distro
Posted by boss on Wednesday, 19 December 2007 @ 19:31:56 EST (6354 reads)
Topic Linux Distro for testers

cdupuis writes "NOTE FROM CLEMENT:
Today I would like to introduce you to a small and unique Distro of Linux that has been developed specifically for WarDriving and WLAN assessment. It remind me of the best tools we had in Auditors.

The goals and the reason for this distro are great, considering the changes taking place all the time in the WarDriving world it is hard to keep up. Even thou I love BackTrack and all of it's great tools, I believe there is space for a smaller distro focused on WarDriving that would be updated more often.

Right now it is focused on the Etheros chipset but hopefully more chipsets and support will be added as it is being developed.

Here is the announcement:

Hi all,

After some pressure from friends and collegues I have decided to release RUSSIX. Its a Live Linux distribution based on SLAX with a focus towards Wireless Penetration Testing.

It comprises a number of tools including aircrack-ng, cowpatty, asleap, nmap, wireshark, hydra, as well as scripted attacks to aid cracking WEP and WPA networks.

Currently, it only supports Atheros based chipsets and those of you lucky enough to own 2 atheros cards will be able to use the scripted Evil Twin attack.

Interested in hearing any feedback you may have or improvements you can make.

You can download it at http://www.russix.com/

Hope you enjoy it!

Russ"

BackTrack v.2.0 Final is out

Topic Linux Distro for testers

Anonymous writes "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.

Get yours at http://www.remote-exploit.org

=== Wireless Attacks @ their best ===
* We included a bunch of new drivers into the latest release and where 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 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)

=== 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.

=== Cutting Edge Exploitation Framework & Information ===
* We put extra effort in integrating Metasploit Framework3 as well as the Stable Metasploit Framework2. Features such as db_autopwn, Wifi driver exploits etc are all functional.
* Default password lists and online resources have been added and updated.

=== Latest Tech ===
* Packages are now based on the Slax 6 LZM format, which allowed use to get more space and work in a more stable environment
* We are running on a tweaked Kernel 2.6.20
* Apple patches are applied
* Broad Wireless Card Support
* Lorcon Wifi / Metasploit integration
* Wireshark Wifi Frame Injection patch
* Japanese Input support
* Over 300 updated security tools
* New section related to VoIP

=== Disappointments ===
As usual, Nessus is not included into BackTrack as Tenable forbid redistribution.

=== Community ===
* The public wiki project is available at http://backtrack.offensive-security.com. Please help us by providing entries in HCL (Hardware compatibility list)
* Meet us at irc.freenode.org #remote-exploit

=== Thank You ===
* We would like to thank every developer, tester and our users. Without you, BackTrack would simply not be what it is today, But most of all we like to thank our wives and families who supported us with this creative endeavor.

Signing out,

Muts, Max and Mjm

BackTrack Linux Distro has been released
Posted by boss on Saturday, 04 February 2006 @ 21:10:00 EST (5030 reads)
Topic Linux Distro for testers

cdupuis writes "BackTrack is the result of the merging of two Innovative Penetration Testing live Linux distributions combined together, it it a merge of Whax and Auditor

Combining the best features from both distributions, and paying special attention to small details, this is probably the best version of either distributions to ever come out.

Based on SLAX (Slackware), BackTrack provides user modularity. This means the distribution can be easily customised by the user to include personal scripts, additional tools, customised kernels, etc.

BackTrack is released in two flavours - Developer Edition and User Edition. These two CD's contain the same data, however have the following differences:

Developer Edition:
Built from the individual modules which create BackTrack.
Boot time is slow, due to large number of modules
Modulatiry is high, so user customisation is easier

User Edition:
Individual modules consolidated.
Boot time is faster, due to few modules
Modulatiry is low, so user customisation is harder

PLEASE NOTE - THE CURRENT RELEASE IS BETA!

Release of version 2006.0 of Pentoo
Posted by boss on Thursday, 02 February 2006 @ 14:31:05 EST (1575 reads)
Topic Linux Distro for testers

cdupuis writes "Pentoo is a penetration testing LiveCD distribution based on Gentoo. It features a lot of tools for auditing and testing a network, from scanning and discovering to exploiting vulnerabilities. You can view the list of all available tools here . You can view the development blog for latests adds/changes. We currently have many differences between Pentoo and Mpentoo. It is normally noted in parenthesis when a feature is available only in one version. For now, The main differences are that mpentoo uses unionfs and use Enlightenment as a window manager. # Features
---------------------------------------------

Below are the main features of this distribution :
  • Nessus, Metasploit and Fingerprints db upgradable ! You can put them in RAM or on a usb stick.
  • You can save stuff on a usb pen-drive or a harddisk like : /etc, /root, Nessus plugins, SecurityForest's Exploit Tree and all fingerprints (the last only in pentoo)
  • It's modular (mpentoo), you can customize it by adding modules just like in slax (only in mpentoo for now).
  • It is faster : based on the Gentoo distribution, all the code as been optimized. I choosed to optimize the code for pentium3 cpu as I think that intel based cpu are more used than AMD's ones. Of course, this will not break the compatibility with AMD proc, it will just run faster on pentium-3 or 4 CPUs.
