Re: BT5 Tools

BT5... when i Google that i get BackTrack 5... you mean how to get the tools that are inside BackTrack Linux 5 in Crunchbang?
you'd need to just find the names of the tools and then check to see if they're in the Debian repos.
open a terminal and type

apt-cache search some_tool

to search, or use the Synaptic package manager, available through the right-click Openbox menu.

Re: BT5 Tools

so, you've got 2 choices to find out your list. either install BackTrack5 (on a separate partition, another PC, a VM, whatever) and get that package-list, or try more Googling

Re: BT5 Tools

Just please please please don't try adding the backtrack ppa to your sources.list so you can get the tools that way.

This is almost guaranteed to break your system. The backtrack site says it's not even a good idea to add their ppa to Ubuntu, so you can only imagine what it would do to Debian.

ihttp://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Why_cant_I_just_add_the_Backtrack_repositories_to_my_Ubuntu_install_or_the_Ubuntu_repositories_to_my_Backtrack_install_.3F

We highly recommend against this action because Backtrack tools are built with many custom features, libraries and kernel. We have no way of knowing how they will perform on a non Backtrack distribution, plus you will very quickly break your install.

And don't be like this guy: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/243271/#p243271

Re: BT5 Tools

As someone who has tried to maintain aircrack and various things on a general desktop distro like crunchbang before, my advice is to just not waste your time. Keep a seperate partition or a USB for backtrack, that's why it's a separate distro and not a package of tools. Patching the wifi drivers for a kernel that was never in a backtrack release is a pain, since it generally requires you to modify the source code yourself before you compile them. If you are dead set on doing this, then debian is probably actually your best choice since the kernel doesn't go through drastic changes. But you're better of taking crunchbang's tools and adding them to backtrack than visa versa.

Re: BT5 Tools

Well keep in mind, that in order to use packet injection, you need to have patched wifi drivers in the host OS. So if you run backtrack in a VM, your wireless security auditing capabilities will be crippled.
