Mr_Mischif Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I had been using nUbuntu, but while waiting for them to make a new CD their domain expired three days ago, so that's out. Now I'm looking for something new. I had heard about some, like PHLAK or Backtrack or Whoppix or Knoppix STD, but I had never really used them, but I bet a few of you have. So, by a show of hands, what do you think is the best pen-tester? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmh0101 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I'm using BrackTrack 3, which is still in beta but I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I was going to invest heavily in nbuntu, but since SomeoneE1se's comments i'm going to take my £4 Billion elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I really like the new BackTrack. The new Boot Screen is nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I had backtrack 2 for my laptop as a live cd and it works with my Wireless, which is hard since it is the only Linux distro I have found that works with the built in Broadcom wireless card in my laptop. If 3 is any better than 2, I would check it out, as 2 was pretty stable and Kismet and Wireless Wireshark worked pretty well for me, even if I do not know how to use Linux that well, it was easy enough to work through. offtopic:: I love your avatar! http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=548;type=avatar[/img] Goes good with my tin foil hat...

metatron Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 If you have to use one then the Beta of Backtrack 3 is the only one worth using as it's the newest. You really should do an install of whatever you like whether that be BSD or Linux and then install the latest versions of everything and keep updating them, live discs suck balls. You can get a lot of stuff to compile on OS X if you want to use that and if you can't/ don't know how to compile from source then you shouldn't be thinking about pen-testing.
