BackTrack 3
BackTrack is the most top rated linux live distribution focused on penetration testing.
With no installation whatsoever, the analysis platform is started directly from the CD-Rom
and is fully accessible within minutes.
It's evolved from the merge of the two wide spread distributions
Whax and Auditor Security Collection. By joining forces and replacing these distributions,
BackTrack has gained massive popularity and was voted in 2006 as the #1 Security Live Distribution
by insecure.org. Security professionals as well as new-comers are using BackTrack as their favorite
toolset all over the globe.
BackTrack has a long history and was based on many different linux distributions until
it is now based on a Slackware linux distribution and the corresponding live-CD scripts
by Tomas M. (www.slax.org) . Every package, kernel configuration and script is optimized to be used
by security penetration testers. Patches and automation have been added, applied or developed
to provide a neat and ready-to-go environment.
After coming into a stable development procedure during the last releases and consolidating
feedbacks and addition, the team was focused to support more and newer hardware as well as provide
more flexibility and modularity by restructuring the build and maintenance processes. With the current version,
most applications are built as individual modules which help to speed up the maintenance releases and fixes.
Because Metasploit is one of the key tools for most analysts it is tightly integrated
into BackTrack and both projects collaborate together to always provide an on-the-edge implementation
of Metasploit within the BackTrack CD-Rom images or the upcoming remote-exploit.org
distributed and maintained virtualization images (like VMWare images appliances).
