    Episode 5x24

    in USB Multipass

    Posted

    Frank Castle: I got the partitions to work for me pretty easily.First I set up the multipass on the flashdrive without partitioning it. Then I used Ubuntu and gparted create a new partition and leave enough room in the old partition for all the boot stuff. I them used labels to mark the boot partition as hidden. This seems to allow it to boot fine but be hidden in windows. The other partition is not hidden and works fine in windows. I can still see both partitions in Ubuntu so editing the boot partition is stil pretty easy.

    I do have a question tho. I have gotten nt password to boot but when it boots it cant find the harddrive where windows is installed. it just finds the 2 partitions of my flash drive. here is what i used for grub.i just copied Darren's from the show notes. any ideas of why this is or how to fix it?

    title ntpasswd
kernel /ntpasswd/vmlinuz rw vga=1 initrd=/ntpasswd/initrd.cgz /ntpasswd/scsi.cgz
initrd /ntpasswd/initrd.cgz

    You need to patch it. See http://www.911cd.net/forums/lofiversion/in...php/t19643.html

    Excellent episode, many thanks Frank Castle & Hak5 crew!

    Tried grub yesterday evening real quick, with mixed results. First, it just got blank screen with blinking_, on second try i got grub list. After some minor tweaks, just blinking _. Stick is Kingston Datatraveler 4GB formatted as FAT32 so should work really nice.

    Maybe i just wait for some good "release" :)

    I got that when I had some configuration typos, and also when I had a corrupted splash image. Double-check your menu.lst for any mistakes and try booting it without the splash image.

    title BackTrack 3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/boot.bt3/vmlinuz vga=0x317 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet
initrd=/boot/boot.bt3/initrd.gz
boot

    I'll try and see if the root (hd0,0) is even needed. Guess where my BT3 /boot folder is? ;)

    Anyone know if BT4 Pre-Final and Ubuntu can run off the one USB? They both use Casper, and need /casper for the squashfs filesystem.

    Hm, that's what I have in my menu file (with a different boot directory) and Grub opens it fine, but before anything happens I just get a black screen.

    Alright, I just set this up and I'm having a few issues I'm wondering if anyone else has come across. I'm experimenting with it but in the meantime I'd appreciate any input :)

    Firstly, I tried to install:

    • BackTrack 3
    • Kon-Boot
    • Hiren's BootCD
    • ntpasswd
    • DBAN
    • FreeDOS
    • Memtest86

    This is my menu.lst:

    color red/black black/red
timeout 120

title BackTrack 3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /bootbt3/vmlinuz vga=0x317 ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw quiet
initrd=/bootbt3/initrd.gz
boot

title Kon-Boot
map --mem /FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
map (hd1) (hd0)
map --hook
rootnoverify (fd0)

title Hiren's BootCD
find --set-root /hirens/HBCD/boot.gz
map --mem /hirens/HBCD/boot.gz (fd0)
map --hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
map --floppies=1
boot

title Offline NT Passwd Reset
kernel /ntpasswd/vmlinuz rw vga=1 initrd=/ntpasswd/initrd.cgz /ntpasswd/scsi.cgz
initrd /ntpasswd/initrd.cgz

title DBAN
kernel /memdisk
initrd /dban.img

title FreeDOS
root (hd0,2)
kernel /memdisk
initrd /freedos.img floppy

title Memtest86
kernel /memtest/ISOLINUX/MEMTEST

    And this is my folder structure for the USB drive:

    +---bootbt3
¦   +---dos
¦   +---isolinux
¦   +---syslinux
+---BT3
¦   +---base
¦   +---modules
¦   +---optional
¦   +---rootcopy
¦   +---tools
¦       +---WIN
+---ntpasswd
+---memtest
¦   +---ISOLINUX
+---hirens
    +---HBCD
        +---Vdefs
        +---WinTools
            +---files

    In that root drive folder I have:

    grldr
menu.lst
memdisk
FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img
dban.img
freedos.img

    Now I'm having the following issues:

    • ntpasswd - No disk drivers found (boots okay, program doesn't work)
    • FreeDOS - Grub error: Partition not found
    • Hiren's - "Cannot find HBCD folder" error when I try to start any app (boots okay)
    • BackTrack 3 - Grub loads it okay, but it's just a black screen

    The server hosting Hak5.org and the Hak5 forums was hacked.

    I knew to use a different username/password on a site like this. Vulnerable shared hosting and unproprietary software is a bad recipe for getting hacked, too bad. Get a dedicated server, run virtual machines on it, and isolate projects from each other. Nubs.

    I came here to recommend the same. Especially on a high-profile site such as this.

    Since I had a shared host that got exploited on someone else's site, I closed my account (when they refused to investigate) and got a VPS account. Now I can lock down the server, pull all the crap I never use out of Apache, monitor the server, and most importantly I know exactly what scripts are running on the server.

    To the Hak5 team, sorry about your server! Hope all is well, you've had some pretty shitty luck this week :)
