Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

After doing some Puppy hopping (Fatdog, Dpup revisited and a multi-media based Puppy) decided to do some distro hopping and somehow ended up with Backtrack http://www.backtrack-linux.org/ which I think is for security professionals.

It is based on Ubuntu and runs very well as a lived CD on my system.
I thought I might install it on a USB drive and see if I can hack my wireless password.

Backtrack seems to have a diversity of tools
but not sure where to start?

I need something like rainbow tables? Ideally I want a program called 'scan for wireless network, find password and connect'.

As far as I know it should be OK to hack/crack my own system?


Any advice welcome

above two will give you the ability to crack your wireless...
i think its ok to test your own hardware
.
i hope they can even be used in cluster

aircrack-ng suite is what you want for wireless cracking, but you need a wireless adapter that supports monitor mode and injection

WEP is so easy to crack it's a joke, WPA is more difficult is easy to capture the encrypted password but then you need some sort of dictionary attack to get the readable password can take a huge dictionary and a lot of processing power

and yes it is fine to try and crack your own just don't be tempted to try next doors.

There are a few scripts that can automate this to a certain extent for noobs I will try and remember and post back

This is the script http://code.google.com/p/wifite/

nowt to install just run it from a shell

I was thinking to download and try it ... until I look at the size of the ISO

[nooby]

is it big? How big?

I did download it but how does one get it booted using frugal install?
Is it not Grub2? How did you do it Lobster? I guess CD or DVD or USB?

2000 MB guys
I downloaded the r2 (proper release 2 - not a release candidate) torrent here:
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads/
I then ran as a live DVD (I use RW-DVD)
using the first option to boot with (live DVD I think it was)

Getting online was easy with (I think it was pwire) which you can turn off and works OK with my ethernet.
I rather like their zen/shinobi quote
"The quieter you are
the more you hear"

The user and password is root and toor
They suggest you change this right away.
I could not be bothered.

On the top left is an install icon but I do not think I would install
but will continue live booting.

Technically because it is Ubuntu based we could take all the best stuff add to a standard Puppy 5.2 and have the mythical BOP

Hi fellow armchair security ninja wannabes,

Depends which Atheros
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Drivers

Is not recommended to use your inbuilt adapter either

Q5sys knocked up AttackPup, which has some of the Backtrack tools:

Thanks guys.
I got the python script running
but its display was unreadable even when rotating the screen 270 degrees (a bit of lateral thinking) probably solvable . . .
(I think this is due to python/small screen resolution)

I may have to check out the atheros driver . . .
Anyway that was sufficient progress for my first day as a cyber-ninja

My humble apologies to Q5sys for forgetting his attackpup.
I will download and give that a go . . .
