Update script for bt4 (update.sh)

Wow that is a nice script. It will be very useful. especially because it gives you a report after it is done updating. Good job. Thank you.

hey, don't know what i'm doing wrong here. it says i'm not connected to the internet but I know i am cuz i can do all the updates myself manually and they work fine. BT4 R2 Vmware running with the bridged mode and replicate physical network state checked.

thx for your help,

If you open the script in kate (or whatever you use) there is a variable called "netcheck" Change that to "no" and it wont do the internet check. Just make sure you are online or you will get a bunch of errors.

I got this during the updating

################################
[i] Updating Exploitdb...
################################
svn: Can't make directory 'exploitdb': No such file or directory
./updatebt4.sh: line 433: cd: /pentest/exploits/exploitdb: No such file or directory
svn: '.' is not a working copy
cp: missing destination file operand after `/pentest/exploits/exploitdb'
Try `cp --help' for more information.

Which version are you using?
migrate to

cd /pentest/exploits/

verify the file named exploitdb is there. if not then look for a file called exploitdbbackup
and rename it to exploitdb.

If that doesnt work then

- cd /pentest/exploits/
- svn co svn://devel.offensive-security.com/exploitdb

this will put it back.

Thanks

The updated script you posted is working good. It successfully updated everything. I saw some more features though like it updating the OpenVPN's plugins, and the firefox option is awesome. Everytime a new update comes out for this script I end up memorizing the pastebin url because I end up giving it out so much. Anyway very handy, cant wait to see what additional options are in the next version.

Keep up the good work!

Im glad you liked it. I made the firefox update optional as some might not like having repos added to the sources.list file. I thought about removing it after the update was done.

Thanks - Iḿ on R2

I couldn find a file called exploitdbbackup but I could see a folder - so I ren that but it still failed - I used svn cmd and that fixed it

One thing - Iḿ getting this error with Nessus now which I wasnT getting before

I forgot Nessus is not installed by default on BT4. You need to set up Nessus before this part of the update will work. I should probably make it an optional update.

You can disable this update in the script if you want to learn shell scripting otherwise await an update.

One thing I added when playing around with it was

#__ If no choices are made _________________________________________________
if [ "$all" == "" ] && [ "$openvas" == "" ] && [ "$metasploit" == "" ] && [ "$aircrack" == "" ] && [ "$distup" == "" ] &&
[ "$SET" == "" ] && [ "$SQLMap" == "" ] && [ "$exploitdb" == "" ] && [ "$fasttrack" == "" ] && [ "$nikto" == "" ] && [ "
$nessus" == "" ] && [ "$w3af" == "" ] ; then ./btupdate.sh -h ; exit 1 ; fi

instead of echo "Please choose an option" it gives the user a quick list of options and makes a good reference for the commands without needing anything. You could just echo the options but no need to take up a bunch of space just a quick rerun and options list print out.

Just a personal preference I like to see the options if none are made I have a bad memory sometimes when it comes to command switches.

Great program! thanks for sharing.

You should throw this up on GitHub for the version control you're doing, plus allow others to submit modifications. Thoughts? Definitely going to start using this.

Late to the party, but have to say this is very cool...make everything easy.

I was writing on-off scripts for diff things, this is my new update tool!

Thanks for sharing!

Pretty cool script, looks like you put a lot of effort into it.
