you should read up on some basic linux commands, such as mount and fdisk


man mount

linux (and therefore backtrack) don't see your drives as c:, d: etc.

I've got a few Alfa adapters and I have to say that the AWUS036H is my favourite. It just works with pretty much everything. I also have an inbuilt broadcom variety 43xx and while it performs the...

It doesn't look like you're thinking at all. Removing a module isn't rocket science. Have you heard of Google? Try entering a phrase that relates to your problem.

Haven't had any trouble deauth'ing my Windows 7 Professional install.

as long as it's exactly the awus036h it should work fine. try it with backtrack 4 r1. If you can't get it working well, bad luck - honestly.

Good luck getting your data back. As for starting with linux, try ubuntu first as you'll get used to the processes and concepts used in linux distros.

Connect a client to the AP. 44 seconds in situations is not enough. Just leave it there for 5 minutes.

Check out Online Information Security Training - BackTrack for information on current courses.

That particular card should be compatible (I have one) but it's not that strong, so you'll have to be fairly close to the AP you want to attack.

# man dhclient

Yeah certainly worth the wait. Crunch is my favourite wordlist generator.

Try to use the command halt

Post error messages from airmon-ng. Try again with the newer Backtrack 4 R1 release.

If this is the main crutch of your questions, it isn't relevant to backtrack. Try looking elsewhere.

Use the -w option in airodump to save the file and then just mount and save the .cap file to a USB, etc

You shouldn't need to supply the MAC address of your wifi card in later versions of this attack. It's automatic unless you've manually changed your MAC address.

Are you trying to avoid an unpleasant noogie from your brother?

Read up on the program airmon-ng and your specific wireless card.

What lupin subtly is implying that you have an unsupported version of Backtrack. Try using aireplay-ng with a newer version of Backtrack, namely BT4/R1

Enjoy your ban.

Well in general you'd think that many of the tweaks have already been implemented by the development team. As for using BT4/R1 as your primary OS, it really depends what you require of an everyday...

if you're using konsole, shrink the font

Looks like you're booting into another partition that isn't backtrack. Looks like an old version of Ubuntu Netbook Remix. Try installing again, noting the partition(s) you're overwriting and where...
