I booted backtrack onto a new laptop (lenovo T400) and the internal wireless is not recognized. How do I check what kind of internal wireless it has, and find the driver to install?

I'm booting backtrack 3 off a USB stick.

How can I have a startup script execute automatically when backtrack boots from USB drive? (similar to how knoppix.sh executes automatically if the file is found on any mounted partition.)

I...

Thanks for your reply.
1) I've been able to tell that ettercap arp poisoning has failed quite often, by typing "arp -a" on the victim's pc and seeing that the mac hasn't changed
2) No, sslstrip...

Arpspoof (recompiled for non-eth0 support) has always worked fine for me from a wired attack pc, but not from a wireless attack laptop.

When spoofing from wireless, what I see happening is that...

Just as the title asks - I tried arpspoof (recompiled for ath0 support) but I heard that arpspoof won't work from a wireless attacker. Anybody gotten it to work?

Well I found out that I can invoke the telnet daemon by having a shell script manually start in.telnetd in an endless loop... but that will only allow for a single telnet login at a time. Apparently...

How can I enable telnet login in Backtrack 3?

Needing telnet because I'm unable to get ssh login working through a reverse ssh tunnel.

How do I start the telnet service on backtrack 3? There isn't an /etc/inetd.conf

Since you asked, basically this is what I can't get working:

From home, I want to log into my work computer...

How can I enable telnet login on Backtrack 3? (I can't get ssh login working through a reverse ssh tunnel)

Not in version .4 that I have -- the -p option only affects how much data is logged, it doesn't cause it to drop out of stripping SSL after a secure post.

Although Moxie alluded that there was...

What is this sslstrip option to drop upon making a "SECURE POST"? I don't see it listed in the command line options or anywhere in the source code.

did you ever get this working? I tried sslstrip and saw passwords in the log file right away. Even simpler than using ettercap, which won't work for some sites like aol.

Unfortunately, ettercap forums are dead. I can't get ettercap (on BT3) to display AOL passwords, which are easily displayed by Cain & Able (ettercap works great with all other sites I've tried...

Oh, that worked - I thought I had to use the wpa_supplicant daemon, but the iwpriv method is much simpler. Thanks!

I'm calling it like so:
wpa_supplicant -B -irausb0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext
(also tried -Dhostap )

Are you getting any "Operation not supported" messages? Which driver are you using?...

Has anybody gotten the Edimax EW-7318USg to connect to a WPA encrypted wireless network on BT3?

I'm having a problem when running wpa_supplicant (specifying the wext or hostap drivers)

It gives...

How do I change the filtering criteria used in the bottom pane of Ettercap? It is not displaying some passwords (like aol and facebook) which ARE displayed by Cain&Able (although it does fine with...

The BT3 usb thumbdrive bootable I created will not boot from my desktop pc. Just a blank screen saying "Boot Error"

However, it WILL boot on a different pc (laptop), and a different bootable usb...

I got the same thing too - the usb stick boots fine on a different pc though, and a different usb stick (knoppix) boots fine on this pc.

Ideas anyone?

That worked!!!

So recent EW-7318USg owners, take note!

Thanks for the tip!

I couldn't find anything resembling a version number on any side of the box even though the barcode sticker is still there.

However, on the included paper insert ("quick installation guide") which...

The card didn't work out of the box in my case -

I tried the precompiled rt73.ko driver included in backtrack 3 - did not work

I tried bt4 beta, couldn't find a precompiled driver (where is...

Well maybe you have a different version than what I have? Did you compile & install the driver from the included CD, or from homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.3.tar.bz2 ?

I...

I got the Edimax EW-7318USg from newegg, and none of the downloadable drivers worked (after modprobe, no rausb0 showed up)

However I found the sourcecode that was included in the Linux directory...
