[>] Update Script for Backtrack 5.

[sickness]

@sickness,

The update of Nessus seems not working due to the .rc file.

Have you registered Nessus and entered the key in order to make Nessus work ?

@sickness,

Oh, sorry. I am a newbie on Pentest industry. Thank you for your hints.

@sickness:
Hi Fresh install of backtrack running in VBox Virtual Machine (not an real install, I downloaded the VM and imported it in to VBox) that runs on a win7 x64 host.
used script v 0.6 to update:
First I could not update, did not detect internet (I do have internet), when I bypassed with the option script runs very fast and times out saying something like this: " [] invalid option chosen" or something to that effect, after showing the options list. This happened when script asked me if it should continue without internet access and I entered "y" and pressed "enter". After a million tries I discovered that if I entered "y1" (as written, both together) script runs with option 1, if I entered "y6" script runs with option 6.

I did run it with both options, first "y1" rebooted, then with option "y6", it SEEMS (I am totally noob to pentesting so maybe I am wrong) to have updated all OK with one exception: start up and command line console (before startx) are all black, without the colored border it had before.

Just my 10 cents, hope it is use full

Thanks for reporting, also it upgrades Backtrack, so probably if it upgraded KDE you need to remake custom settings.

UPDATE v0.7 OUT!

Rewrote some code. Get it via wget or the update function of the script.

There will be, I don't really have the time now to look at it, it's just a quick measure, also use it without any internet checking it's going to work the same.

@sickness: got it working, just cleaned, downloaded again, did the gcc stuff, ran it and it updated all.
Got to get down to some serious learning on this linux and pentesting stuff.

THANKS!

Glad you got it working

UPDATE! Version 0.8 ... get it while it's fresh!

Removed SQLmap from update (it breaks the app if you update).

In case SQLmap is broken:

apt-get purge sqlmap
rm -rf /pentest/database/sqlmap
apt-get install sqlmap

[clone]

Sickness,

Could you please add Wireshark to the tools updated via your script? Would be a very nice time saving inclusion.

thanks again

@sickness,

SET cannot be updated due to some files exist.
