[>] Update Script for Backtrack 5.

[sickness]

Because it's written in C ...

[Gitsnik]

And there is also that sickness gave instructions of:

wget http://urlblah/backtrack5_update.c

Rather than

wget http://urlblah/backtrack5_update.c backtrack5_update.c

So you need to actually use it as per the instructions for it to work (without errors in the wget, I know it still works somewhat)

it worked nicely already, but did require a *very tiny little bit of thought* to bypass what anyone familiar with these parts might possibly refer to as noob-proofing.
it does seem a bit faster now and works simply copying and pasting the commands line by line into a shell.

good stuff,either way. thanks again

Why does the script remove ettercap?

The program 'ettercap' can be found in the following packages:
* ettercap (You will have to enable component called 'universe')
* ettercap-gtk (You will have to enable component called 'universe')
Try: apt-get install <selected package>

Err http://32.repository.backtrack-linux.org/ revolution/main ettercap-common 1:0.7.3-1.4ubuntu1

I'd like to see nmap, kismet, and nessus added

Nessus plugins are there, working on nmap and probably will add kismet and pyrit in the next release

[stdape77]

dont probably do !!! lol Pyrit should be in Distro. and fix Nvidia problems, got bored with having to reinstall every boot .

+1 for Pyrit and NMAP fingerprints

Just an idea - a feature to 'install if not installed' switch would be cool. I never had time get that implemented. It might be getting out of the scope of this program, but thought i would share.

Same here. When I use "1.Update and clean Backtrack" it says there is not-needed packages use autoremove and one of this package was ettercap.
Unfortunately when I try to install it back it says error:
#apt-get update
#apt-cache search ettercap

and for the sqlmap for me it is not working when update but I think it is not problem of the script but the sqlmap server
/pentest/database/sqlmap# svn up --trust-server-cert --non-interactive
svn: OPTIONS of 'https://svn.sqlmap.org/sqlmap': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Digest challenge (https://svn.sqlmap.org)

Yes that's what I will do, I'll make the script install Pyrit if it's not there and then update it

@chbhc are you using the latest script version ? Also check your repos they seem to have a problem.

UPDATE V0.5

Added nmap update and installs pyrit!!

NOTE:

Use the update function from within the script or:

wget http://sickness.tor.hu/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/backtrack5_update.c
