I actually compiled the new raw drivers into the Fedora 9 install just like 2 days ago relatively easy. Here is a link for the tutorial. I assume if you really wanted to do it with Backtrack 2 you...

Yep thats actually exactly what we use.

I've never seen that pdf though. That will be useful for work. Thank you

I refrained from saying were I worked so as to not make Checkpoint upset. I do...

Your right and to be honest the only real answer is bigger servers with more RAM. And maybe backbone blocking from your edge provider if you can narrow down the attack to a certain region that you...

I don't think this was ever fixed, but it works like a charm in BT3. Just a couple things you gotta remember.

modprobe -r iwl3945
modprobe ipwraw

This is by far not the preferred method but depending on how well you know Linux it might be easier to just boot back to the live CD and patch the files that are missing. I am pretty sure glibc is:...

I work as a security engineer at a decent sized unmanaged hosting provider with 8 data centers and approximately 50,000 servers, so I handle a good amount of the Checkpoint configurations for a...

This probably isn't the answer but have you ever used the stick to boot any other type of Linux? I have found some sticks don't boot so well and its not Backtrack thats the problem. It's just the...

Just a thought but you really need to figure out the command line for stuff like that. It makes things so much easier, especially in Linux. I am willing to bet that you don't have 2 sda3's from the...

Wow thats crazy. I am not saying I don't believe you, but I have been working with Linux for fun and for profit for almost 10yrs and never seen that. What did you use to partition it with...

Don't know if this is your problem but the first time I downloaded BT2 along time ago, I had the same problem I couldn't log in with root, toor. I ended up downloading the image again and realized it...

Haven't played chess in years but I am always up for a game of capture the flag...

gnucitizen is a really good blog to watch for lots of useful infos...

There is no such thing. Its a concept called defense in depth. There is no internal and external network anymore. Treat every computer the same, and such its security level. No one measure is enough,...

With Linux you are truly only limited by your imagination. We could sit here forever and discuss the perfect configuration of partitions and everyone would have a different opinion and a different...

This isn't the answer to your question exactly. But my guess is you are after the end result and not caring about the method so much. If so try

/pentest/misc/fast-track.py

If not what was the...

I am assuming your loading the right driver first, something like

modprobe -r iwl3945
modprobe ipwraw

Sounds like you forgot to install a boot loader. F8 thats a Windows thing right? Backtrack or Slackware basically still uses LILO, which will probably be easiest for you. However I use grub so I...

Another way that works well if you are doing this remotely is the screen command. Its not to complicated and I am sure there is a man page that explains it well.

Or is this the one you are talking about?

There is a Metasploit book by Syngress, although HD Moore himself has not had the best things to say about it. I like the way Gray Hat Hacking Second Edition portrays both Metasploit and Backtrack....

If your looking for a quick taste, then search for information about db_autopwn. Again like everyone else has said a little research goes a long way, and its better to fully understand it rather than...

When you use the upgrade function doesn't it tell you exactly what it is replacing, installing, and removing. Just like apt, yum, or any other package manager?
