Security distribution BackTrack 4 with CUDA support

The Remote Exploit Team has released a Pre Final version of the BackTrack 4 (BT4) security distribution (code named 'pwnsauce') as a 1.3 GB ISO image file. BackTrack offers a wide range of tools to enable users and administrators to test the security of items ranging from web applications to RFID systems. These include LAN and WLAN sniffers, password crackers, vulnerability scanners, the Metasploit exploit framework and several others.

I am pleased to announce that the final version of Guadalinex v6 is out :-) The official news are at the Guadalinex website. But it’s in Spanish, so I’ve decided to explain a bit (in my poor English) what is all about. Before to start I like to thank to all those people who help to develop, test, fix, translate and document all those great projects which Guadalinex is based on. I really do. They make this possible and deserve most of the credits.

BackTrack 4 - Hacking galore

BackTrack is a powerful hacking suite. It is well made, with stylish touches that add to the overall feel of the distribution. It runs very fast in the live mode, even faster than most installed distributions. Most importantly, the array of tool is rich, well balanced and overall quite impressive. The Beta version did throw a few errors here and there, but it was nothing major. Small consistency issues also arise, and there's the lack of support for Ext4, which I expect will be solved soon. Documentation needs to be improved, starting with the website SSL certificate and continuing with lots of questions regarding the general usage.

Backtrack security testing distro another great tool to convince people of Linux

Many times I have experienced windows system administrators who just didn't care about Linux. These people are not against Linux, they just don't have very much of an opinion about it. If I try to convince someone like that, I can take my whole live just trying to convince them to even try it. But I found a way to make them experience Linux.

Backtrack Linux on a Thumbdrive: Can Security Testing Get Any Easier?

I have dealt with a lot of Linux distros since I first learned the power of my newfound penguin friend. He was free unlike a Microsoft or Apple product, had thousands of available programs (also free), and looked damn classy while he was in control of my computer.
