What could make BackTrack better? How about making it Debian based with a repository chock full of security tool goodness? Maybe even use Ubuntu’s repos for regular system updates? Well that’s just what the team at Remote Exploit have done with the fourth incarnation of their infamous live pentesting distribution:

Now based on Debian core packages and utilizing the Ubuntu software repositories, BackTrack 4 can be upgraded in case of update. When syncing with our BackTrack repositories, you will regularly get security tool updates soon after they are released.

New Features

  • Kernel 2.6.28.1 with better hardware support.
  • Native support for Pico e12 and e16 cards.
  • Support for PXE Boot
  • SAINTexploit
  • MALTEGO
  • Custom rtl8187 patches
  • Broader wireless injection support
  • Unicornscan
  • RFID support
  • Pyrit CUDA
  • Other new and updated tools

BT4 is available as a DVD ISO [854MB] or VMware Image [1GB]

Hint: Use a download manager or something with resume. Their mirrors are getting hit pretty hard as you can imagine.

Grendel-Scan

I found this new web application vulnerability scanner today called Grendel-Scan. At first glance, it looks similar to Paros and other MITM proxy types but I assure you it is more than that.

Description:

Grendel-Scan is an open-source web application security testing tool. It has automated testing module for detecting common web application vulnerabilities, and features geared at aiding manual penetration tests.

Here we have the module screen, which shows some of Grendel’s features which are at least on par with w3af.

I will be using this for a little while, and I will post my findings. Until then, you can find more information at their website. They also have a forum and blog if you find yourself in need of assistance.
