[>] Update Script for Backtrack 5.

[outbackjack]

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?

Try:
find / -name aircrack-ng

... how to find out where aircrack-ng is installed?

Try:

locate aircrack-ng

maxfx, I've been seeing your posts recently and they're always amazingly helpful.

May I suggest adding chntpw to the script?

Yep for some reason there is no chntpw on the 64bits, but you can install like this:

wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/chntpw/chntpw_0.99.6-2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i chntpw_0.99.6-2_amd64.deb

Thanks for taking the time to make this, updating backtrack manually is a pain.

so this script updates backtrack itself or just the tools... and I thought (apt-get dist-upgrade / update) updates backtrack....

any fix on this one?

any fix on this one?

Unfortunately noone has been able to duplicate your problem. However, Gitsnik gave you some very helpful advice which you seem to have maybe overlooked. He told you to issue the command:

root@bt:~# which aircrack-ng

returning this result:
root@bt:~# /usr/local/bin/aircrack-ng

the command "which" does not just locate/find every instance of a file on a hdd; which (not the command which) can often return way more information than you need to be looking at.

DESCRIPTION
Which takes one or more arguments. For each of its arguments it prints to stdout the full path of the executables that would have been executed when this argument had been entered at the shell prompt. It does this by searching for an executable or script in the directories listed in the environment variable PATH using the same algorithm as bash(1).

it's definitely worth learning the "which" command's uses.

this is from a day or 2 old "fresh install" after using Sickness' python script to *update all* including the wireless toolset.

i hate to be blunt or seemingly unhelpful; but you are either doing something wrong, or have broken something.
