[>] Update Script for Backtrack 5.

[nivong]

Thanks for the helpfull information and support only problem is, after using the which command I get:

/usr/bin/aircrack-ng

so I gues this is also not right...? aircrack-ng commend is working tough

Would it be safe to assume that running this script could upgrade my installation to R1? I realize that R1 also has additional tools that might not be upgraded with this script, but would the end result be about the same if I don't need those additional tools?

For users of BT5r1, update line 104 to the below so you can update metasploit (it fails without this change as the framework3 directory doesn't exist anymore). Awesome script by the way, thanks for your work!

if subprocess.Popen("cd /pentest/exploits/framework/ && svn up",shell=True).wait() == 0:

both scripts and backtrack!

Would you mind telling me a little more how I add METASPLOIT
I never really understood
Welcome

Update for script coming in a few days depending on my free time, for those who don't want to get messy and follow arclight's suggestion wait a few days

@nivong: that is precisely what it should report. again, show us something to duplicate your "problem". and a seperate thread may be a good idea as you are polluting this thread with side issues unrelated to the script this thread is about.

root@bt:~# cd /pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng/
root@bt:/pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng# dir

post the output. in a *different thread*. we have established this has nothing to do with sickness' update bt5 script.

does this script eliminates the command (#~: apt-get upgrade / update) ?

just wanted to be sure before I run the script and won't run to any error because of the script.

It doesn't eliminate the commands, it leverages them:

def backtrack_update():

        print " [>] Updating and cleaning Backtrack, please wait.\n"

        if subprocess.Popen("apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade && apt-get autoremove -y && apt-get -y autoclean",shell=True).wait() == 0:
                print "\n"
                print " [>] Backtrack updated and cleaned successfully!\n"

        else:
                print "\n"
                print " [>] Failed to update Backtrack.\n"

Running that particular function will take you from BT5 to BT5R1
