Are there any guides for the tools in BackTrack ?

Hi,

Is there any guide for BT4, which explains the usage of almost every tool in BT4 final?

Yes i have used google

The BackTrack wikis both old and slightly less old and currently unavailable were making an attempt at this, but neither of the tools lists was totally complete and would now be out of date anyway with the release of BT4 Final.

So I guess the answer to your question is no.

Even though there aren't any specific guides to Backtrack though, there are still many guides for the individual tools provided by backtrack. I'd recommend searching for guides to the tools you plan on using the most, that's helped me in the past.

Tools - Offensive-security.com

This is for BT3 but a lot of the tools should match up.

Also the 'man' command.

The sites appear to be down. Im unsure whether its permanent or only temporary, but Id suggest that if you want to access the pages contents you may want to try and use the Internet archive or Google Cache.

Not to rag (too much) on what I am guessing is your own personal blog, but most of that could be learned with more clarity from the offsec courses, and the rest of it should be enhanced properly.

For a basic, petty, example, the early stuff about smtp connections could be sped up quite a bit by replacing "nc -v 192.168.1.5 25" with "nc -nv 192.168.1.5 25" to remove the DNS lookup.

The information available on that site is, at best, skiddie-friendly and should not be used for a decent basis to Backtrack tools.

Not that I have a better one, but just making the point known. If you really want to learn, fork out the weeks-wage worth for the offsec course. It's better written, explains more stuff, and is a lot easier to follow.
