ya it has some testing tools that could be detected as malware but its a good forensics boot disk

Thanks all for your imput

remember this is not the actual usb drive. but it is identical to this.. except that it is in a foldernamed boothelix on the root of the usb.. Could it be that casper has to be in the root archive

All the squashfs files, kernel, and initrd are in \boothelix\casper everything else is intact like on the iso(although i extracted it) This is what the original iso looks like And inside casper; like i said

Has anyone gotten helix3 to boot for them. Mine hangs after; "Loading essential drivers... ok" "Mounting /scripts/init-premount...ok" "Mounting root file system.." The splash bar stops loading, and it goes no further. This is my menu.lst entrie for it title Helix 3 root (hd0,0) kernel /boothelix/vmlinuz boot=boothelix/casper rw splash initrd /boothelix/initrd.gz Any help is appreciated, Will post when i get it working.

Ohh baby i got persistent backtrack working, with the help of the lovely casper-rw file. Thanks to whoever posted the link

What Bootloader are you using? Im guessing grub2 cause your booting iso's?

looking foreward to hal0s guide-- does your backtrack boot with persistent changes? some reason mine always boots like a live cd.. (bt4-prefinal)

looks very interesting

God, thanks been looking for this
