Ok how, tried the normal way, but 1024x768 is the highest. I guess I need to install the lates Intel@HD graphics driver from somewhere?

Worked like a charm at my end to, thank you very much..

Two questions?

1. Does this work on the 64bit version Gnome
2. Can one change the screen resolution after applying this fix, even if...

ok. This was a total waste of time

I am running Acer Aspire 4257Z with Intel@ HD Graphics

This is how I did it

1. Installed BT5R1
2. rebooted
3. apt-get update
4. apt-get dist-upgrade

Thanks, think I'll wait for sure, 1st of March is not far away and while BT5R1 works like a charm, I am in no hurry to upgrade. It was just the geek within me that triggered my curiosity.

Thank you Snayler, once again you come to the rescure, most appreciated.
But as I am going through the bug section of this forum, I see there is some other issue regarding the upgrade
to R2, such...

Just experienced this my self.

Will try to give an short history description about this bug, but first I would like to send my gratitude to the team, I've spent some time making the BT5R1 look how...

Don't I look like the funny one now, my thought where that R1 represented realease candidate 1 - But hey, thanks for clearing that up and by that ending a 2 weeks long trail of error on my part.
I...

How come there is two seprate download options in the download section then? Backtrack 5 and Backtrack 5 R1 both for GNOME and KDE
See my confusion?

My question is simple

Why cannot BT5 be installed and run

I have now tried both 64bit and 32bit and the furthest I get is to the splash screen where one should do startx, but after that the...

How come the team do not engage in this thread, I really hope they would as of pr. today, there is no way to install BT5, not KDE or GNOME 64bit - Have not tried 32bit - But the remarkable thing is...

I have search the forums for something similar and I am happy to have found this bug report. It is exactly the same on my computer, no matter what I do, It seems I cannot install BT5

BT5 Gnome...

Seems there is an error issue in the harvester.py program

upon running:


Traceback (most recent call last):

Seems like there is something wrong with ruby, mysql and postgresql in BT5, no matter how much I try or follow directions it msf cannot seem to connect to anything at all.
It isn´t there at all, not...

I think this has something to do with ruby-gem.. when doing db_driver in msf there is no active driver loaded.. even gem install mysql and postgresql does not seem to work..
I have now done gem...

How did you update to version 3.7.1?

Correct location is: cd /pentest/exploits/fasttrack

Dear all, first let me say congrats on a excellent new version with exceptional good looking interface, by far my favorite distro so far.

Now..

I seem to have issues with either java, mysql or...

Thank you, will look forward to this..

I guess this is the way to go if you want to have an updated BT4 with the latest kernel

First of, how to I check what kernel I have on board?

And how do I update it when a new one is released?...

Yes I would imagine that

Here is ifconfig eth0

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:c0:9f:b5:4f:fa
inet6 addr: fe80::2c0:9fff:feb5:4ffa/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST...

Streight out of the box you can surf Internet with Alpha AWUS036NH but that is all you can do in BT4. The Alpha is newer than Backtrack 4 and therefore not compatible with programs such as Aircrack,...

ok this is the case

1. I have a Wifi Pineapple v2 that is running static on 192.168.1.1 ( Jasager, La Fonera 2100)
2. I have a laptop HP Pavilion ZE2000 running Backtrack 4

The Pineapple is...

Very interesting observation, found several times that aircrack-ng did not recconize the handshake. So next time Ill be sure to try cowpatty.

Thank you

I found that this command help med catching those handshakes

aireplay-ng -0 30 -a (BSSID) -c (STATION MAC ADDRESS) Interface (e.g wlan0)

-0 (deauth attack)
30 (30 times)

PS.
