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

TCP broken beyond repair?

“If you use the internet and you serve a TCP-based service that you value the availability for, then this affects you,” Robert E. Lee, chief security officer for Sweden-based Outpost24 told The Register. “That may not be every internet user, but that’s certainly any IT manager, that’s certainly any website operator, mail server operator, or router operator.”

We are all waiting for more info at the T2 conference in Finland, which is scheduled for Oct. 16-17. Listen to the podcast for the most complete details released so far. Skip to around 5 minutes for the English interview. Their descriptions of the effects of the attacks are well worth the listen at the very least.

Until then, I will leave you with a comment from RSnake.

I feel winter slowly coming, and it would be a shame if entire power grids could be taken offline with a few keystrokes, or if supply chains could be interrupted. I hear it gets awfully cold in Scandinavia.
