Installing BackTrack 4 as a VMware Guest

As we havn’t released a VMware image yet, and vmware-tools does not play nice with our 2.6.29.4 kernel, i thought i’de post a short how-to on getting VMware tools installed in BT4 as a VMware guest. I used VMware Workstation 6.5.2 to test this. The BackTrack kernel sources are already in place, so all that’s left to do is install BackTrack in VMware and start the VMware tools install. BackTrack uses up around 5 GB once installed, so plan accordingly. <a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://www.offsec.com/backtrack/installing-backtrack-as-a-vmware-guest/" title="ReadInstalling BackTrack 4 as a VMware Guest">… Read more »</a>

CUDA and ATI Stream in BackTrack 4

We’ve just pushed CUDA and ATI Stream packages to the repo, including many updates and upgrades. Although the nvidia and ATI drivers are not included by default on the livecd, they can be apt-getted, and are working out of the box. Big thanks once again to pure_hate and KMDave for this wonderful feature! Lastly, a quick screenshot from pure_hate showing 3 dual GTX 295’s in action.

Backtrack 4 Powered with CUDA

Some really exciting stuff going on in the world of CUDA on backtrack 4. We have updated to cuda 2.2 and will be offering the complete developers environment. This will include every thing you need to write some of your own tools with CUDA if the need arises.

Heres a little screeny of 2 nvidia 295 GTX video cards in action And even better than that, we are just putting the finishing touches on ati_stream support so every one with a ATI video card can use the power of pyrit for WPA cracking. <a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://www.offsec.com/backtrack/backtrack-4-powered-with-cuda/" title="ReadBacktrack 4 Powered with CUDA">… Read more »</a>

Customizing the BackTrack 4 PreFinal ISO

One of the downsides of leaving the linux live scripts and moving to non lzma enabled squashfs, is that we loose the wonderful and convenient setup for modifying the BackTrack LiveCD on our own. We use to be able to pop in a LZM file into the “optional” directory, and that’s it – but no more. Actually, customizing a casper based ISO isn’t that difficult, just different. I put up this quick guide on how to edit your own livecd and add various tools, drivers and scripts to it. <a class="excerpt-read-more" href="https://www.offsec.com/backtrack/customising-the-backtrack-4-prefinal-iso/" title="ReadCustomizing the BackTrack 4 PreFinal ISO">… Read more »</a>
