Hi Snafu777

So i tried running ./iso_mod.sh again and this time worked!
but maybe you didn't read what I wrote.. I can't make a persistent usb with the instructions here.. regardless of whatever...

figured it out that you need to use DD to get the data out of the iso onto the usb

sudo dd if=~/Downloads/BT5R3-GNOME-32.iso of=/dev/sdb1

but that then corrupts the filesystem and I get this...

Been trying to follow the tutorial on making a persistent USB
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/Persistent_USB

But it talks about copying the ISO and then provides terminal commands...

im seeing an error when running iso_mod.sh

seeing this error

Setting up the build environment...

I have recently...

This USB wifi adapter works out of the box with backtrack using the correct driver
rt2800usb

However the offical installation guide from alfa for linux asks you to deactivate this driver and use...

This usb wifi adapter works great in backtrack using the correct driver rt2800usb

But the linux installation advise from alfa is to deactivate this driver and force rt2870sta

Can anyone tell me...

This was achieved for the first BTHomeHub routers

Someone even created a web frontend for doing it

Yes please because im completely lost as to how to use rainbow tables in the cracking of a WPA handshake

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I have never been able to detect a WPA handshake when using airodump-ng.

I have attempted to deauthenicate clients and simply tried waiting - it is as if airodump...
