After months of development, bug fixes, upgrades, and the addition of 42 new tools, was announced the full release of BackTrack 5 R2 available for download now. Running custom-built 3.2.6 kernel with the best wireless support available, this is fastest and best release of BackTrack yet. In the past few weeks, after flood of submissions to BackTrack Redmine Tracker with submissions for many new tools and dozens of packages that needed to be updated and this helped to make this one of the strongest releases we’ve ever had.

The security conference Shmoocon Washington 2010 presentation introduces AirDrop-ng. This 20 minute video presentation show the new Wi-Fi hacking tool. AirDrop-ng is a python based script and is able to do the same as aireplay-ng -0, mdk3 and void11 altogether. It seems that it will be another application in the aircrack-ng suite. As you will see in the video Airdrop-ng is something we should look forward to:-). 
As the market with CPU has moved to multi-core solutions as a alternative method to increase computation power, intensive computing applications are not adapting to this fact so quickly. A Lot of people still don’t know that the system is not able to split tasks into more threads and distribute the work evenly upon the cores. This task is on the application developer who has to implement the multi-thread supporting mechanism. 
From the word compound of evil and grade, you see there will be something evil about this piece of software and upgrades. It is a modular framework for supplying clients with fake updates that can contain a wide scale of payloads. The problem of poorly implemented actualization routines has been well know for quite some time now, but it seems it has been greatly overlooked. In the time of creation Evilgrade (summer 2008), very popular software has been vulnerable to this kind of exploit such as 
After demonstrating and still tweaking the nervously expected BackTrack 4 beta at shmoocon, it is now available for download from some number of official mirrors. There are several torrents named bt4 but believe they are full of malware. The Remote-Exploit encourages you to download it directly from them. They have made a big decision on this version – moved from from Slackware to (as we have seen) an Ubuntu server with 
Every press on the keyboard pruduces a small impuls of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation can be captured and easy (quickly) decoded. Even though the described attack effects only some keyboard models it is worth mentioning. Before the penetration test there was done a verification of eleven different keyboards. Each one was reciptive to one of four different methods of availabe attacks. As result see the videos bellow. 
Last year we told about not so well know tool called MDK, as part of the “Cracking WEP key – Acces Point with pree-shared key (PSK” concept. Alot of time has passed by since then and now we have well workiong stable version even with GUI extension Charon. It was not much of a deal in Fall 2007, but the situation has changed. The autor has also decidedd to eneble the Destruction Mode in the menu.
