BackTrack v 2.0 Change Log
BackTrack v 2.0 Change Log per remote-exploit
Wireless Attacks @ their best
- We included a bunch of new drivers into the latest release and where able to make the desired packet injection functionalities to a wider audience.
- By supporting the new ALFA USB hi-power devices there is now a great USB wireless dongle available which allows us to connect an external antenna and use BackTrack to attack even on my Intel Macbook or VMware
- Even broadcom 43xx based cards should be able to inject - a bit sloppy but should work.
- The following drivers are now on our CD:
- madwifi-ng (Patched for Injection)
- hostap (Patched for Injection)
- prism54 (Patched for Injection)
- bcm43xx (Patched for Injection)
- rtl8180 (Patched for Injection)
- rtl8187 (Patched for Injection)
- ipw2200 (Patched for Injection)

Faster @ Work
- Most of our Main-menu entries have a grouping "All" menu, which allows the experienced user to quickly find a tool.
- Less experienced users are guided through the new menu structure to find the right tools for the right tasks.
Alignment to Open Standards and Frameworks
- Being superior while staying easy to use is key to a good security live cd. We took things a step further and aligned BackTrack to Penetration Testing Methodologies and Assessment Frameworks (ISSAF and OSSTMM). This will help our professional users during their daily reporting nightmares.
- The most obvious alignment can be seen in the menu structure and framework documentation that has been included into BackTrack.
- We suggest that you take your time to read the Frameworks, especially the ISSAF methodology guide.
- Unfortunately we were not able to include a newer OSSTMM paper because they did not release it to the public.
Cutting Edge Exploitation Framework & Information
- We put extra effort in integrating Metasploit Framework3 as well as the Stable Metasploit Framework2. Features such as db_autopwn, Wifi driver exploits etc are all functional.
- Default password lists and online resources have been added and updated.
