[>] Update Script for Backtrack 5.

[Gitsnik]

lua could actually be quite simple:

sed -i.bak 's/disable_lua.*/disable_lua = true/g' /path/to/luafile

Would create the backup. You'd just have to nut out the sed command properly.

I have a request/thought/suggestion: perhaps a "purge all programs and start them fresh" option to the program. That way instead of having people who don't quite know what they're up to asking how to clean and remove etc. you could rm/deinstall the program directories and start them from scratch.

UPDATE Version 1.0 is out!

Changelog Version 1.0

* Rewrote the script in python.
* Improved speed.
* Added Wireshark lua fix.
* Created Optional applications to install
* Wireshark, FastTrack and other applications that need installing first have been moved to the Optional menu.
* Better internet connectivity checker.

NOTE: You need to wget the script again, since it's been rewritten in python!

wget http://sickness.tor.hu/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/backtrack5_update.py
chmod a+x backtrack5_update.py
./backtrack5_update.py

Enjoy!

/bin/sh: line 0: cd: /pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng/: No such file or directory

getting that error... checked and it isn´t there.. I reinstalled aircrack (purged it and reinstalled it) but still doen't install it there ?

Aircrack is installed by default in that path, not sure what you are doing wrong ...

I have a simple bash script that updates a lot of extra packages as well, in case anyone else uses similar tools and normally installs to '/opt/'.

Check it out:

http://mcurran-exploit.dyndns.org/fi...ipts/update.sh
http://mcurran-exploit.dyndns.org/fi.../update-all.sh

I just create symlinks to my '/usr/bin/' directory and then simply enter "update" or "update-all" whenever I feel the need. This script is definitely is not as creative as sickness', but it works.

"ln -s /<location_of_saved_script>/update.sh /usr/bin/update"
"ln -s /<location_of_saved_script>/update-all.sh /usr/bin/update-all"

I strongly urge anyone thinking of using this script to first edit it and comment out any packages/applications they do not wish to install first, before using!

well me neither... It is a fresh install and aircrack-ng is working, so how can I fix this ?

Can you run aircrack after it is installed? If you type "which aircrack-ng" what is the result? What have you found via google/bing/yahoo/askjeeves/wolfram/internet? How can we help you beyond "it's frakked. what do i do"

Nice work on the script, sickness. I have one small suggestion regarding the Exploit-DB update. It seems to me that 'svn up' should be run from: /pentest/exploits/exploitdb/, as opposed to the platforms directory. This way, the files.csv file gets updated as well.

Yep just like I wrote, aircrack-ng is working, it displays my WiFi cards but didn't found anything on google, meby I used the wrong search terms ? I tried, default backtrack 5 aircrack-ng install path but I get the path you use, how to find out where aircrack-ng is installed?
