[>] Update Script for Backtrack 5.

[Morfir]

@Sickenss

I tried the script with BT5R2 and the only discrepancy I could find which caused a problem was msf. It seems that the directory in the script is pointing towards /pentest/exploits/framework/ however in r2, there is no framework, it is under /pentest/exploits/framework2/

However once you modify the .py script for framework2, I still run into this once "svn up" runs,

Skipped '.'

Otherwise it looks like its fine post r2 release. It is a really fantastic script, one suggestion though would be to make sure only one instance of the script is running at a given time.

I was looking at the code for the update all fucntion in menu_main, I noticed that:

elif choice == "7":
                try:
                        backtrack_update()
                        exploit_db()
                        s_e_t()
                        warvox()
                        aircrack()
                        giskismet()
                        msf()
                        openvas()
                        w3af()
                        nikto()
                        fimap()
                        #nmap()
                        menu_main()

nmap() is commented out? Reason?

thx for the good work

[sickness]

@Morfir nmap was commented out as the updated used to break it back in R1, have not tested it yet in R2.

To Use This Script In BackTrack5 R2

Just Edit It With Nano

And Change The Metasploit Path From /pentest/exploit/framework3/ to /opt/metasploit/msf3/ and save it !!

I am trying to install the update script but honestly im not sure how to.

this is what I did and what happens.

root@bt:~# wget http://sickness.tor.hu/wp-content/up...ack5_update.py
--2012-04-28 08:44:25-- http://sickness.tor.hu/wp-content/up...ack5_update.py
Resolving sickness.tor.hu... failed: Name or service not known.
wget: unable to resolve host address `sickness.tor.hu'
root@bt:~#

Is this an issue? did it work correctly?
If it's an issue how can I remedy it.

Thanks in advance,
Jeremiah

You can download it manually and execute it by invoke the following:

python backtrack5-update.py.

It works like a charm

Ok it has been working all right for me but today I got an issue.. Wireshark released a new stable version 1.8 and I will update my wireshark. So I fire up the script and use the following options:
6. Option and then
5. Wireshark

The script probably ran for odd 10 mins.. I thought that was odd..
and once completed please see the output I am getting while trying to start wireshark:

root@bt:~# wireshark &
[1] 25440
You have new mail in /var/mail/root
root@bt:~# The program 'wireshark' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
apt-get install wireshark
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'

Basically cannot start wireshark anymore..

Cheers

Hi Sickness! this is a great script which I've been using since the start;

However, people behind proxy won't be able to use it because of the internet-check function, which pings Google without utilizing the system envis. After, I commented this function, I was able to get to the menu.

Can you please add a simple menu to ask the user whether he is using a proxy or not. If he does use a proxy, then you can proceed to the main menu.

Good luck

The update script was not updated for the latest version of Backtrack 5 R2 so it may still have some issues.
Currently I do not know when an update will be available due to lack of time however when it's done it will be posted here.

For the people having issues:

This script doesn't really do anything fancy nor it is coded in a very advanced manure, if you are encountering issues on some parts it is easy to open the script and analyze the code.

Well that makes sense with my wireshark problem. I have even manually downloaded the source code for wireshark 1.8 and compiled but it won't run.

Anyway thanks for the explanation.

Once again thanks for your script.
