[>] Update Script for Backtrack 5.

[Gitsnik]

Try changing the host to be pinged to something you can ping ... it's a pretty weird issue.

Hardly. Most places I sit when I want to update anything in BT block outgoing ICMP requests.

For those of you following along at home who like this script, I've replaced the ping with:

system("perl -e 'print qq|GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n|;' | nc www.google.com 80")

And the appropriate strstr() to check for the 302 has-moved code. It actually stands a better chance of getting out (especially when, if you need to, you can wrap it in proxyconnect like I frequently have to do).

Other than that, good stuff sickness, look forward to further updates and more advanced features.

... I have a problem on exploitdb update the script "crash" and time after reply:
svn: Can not connect to host 'www.exploit-db.com': Connection timed out...

I've received that error too. It seems that menu option 3 contains a line that drops connectivity as well. Other than that I haven't had any issues.
Thanks Sickness.

even if you try to update exploitdb manually it seems to hang, at least on my end. I don't believe that particular problem has anything to do with this script.

Works here:

 [>] Exploit-db updated successfully!

EDIT:

Upgrade the script to version 0.3, fixed some minor issues, and included the solution Gitsnik suggested also.

Great script; I got around ping filtering by removing the "check internet" feature.

Note: the KDE 32 repo upgrade to MSF is presently broken. See: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...asploit-2.html

Take note that the script may thus break MSF3.

Sweet! Now it works here out of the box. Good stuff.

I am using backtrack5 gnome 32bit on vmware workstation 7.1.4

I am experiencing an issue with the script. I have ran the option 1. then i went to run option 2 then went to update all. I got the following error:
<div class="bbcode_container">
<div class="bbcode_description">issue:</div>
<pre class="bbcode_code"style="height:144px;">sh: line 0: cd: /pentest/exploits/framework3/: No such file or directory
[>] Failed to update Metasploit.</pre>
</div>
I checked the directory /pentest/exploits/framework3/ the link was broken

So i check /opt/framework3/ and the msf3 folder was missing?

Does anyone know how to correct this issue? I would greatly appreciate the help
