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.
Lets look at an interesting and 100% functional graphic extension for WEP/WPA crack pack of applications, aicrack-ng (airodump-ng, aireplay-ng, aircrack-ng). The application was tested in the reality, in the operating system Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx. USB
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:-).
Some of you might have seen other tools for charting the network layout by analyzing captured traffic like EtherApe. Well the aircrack-ng team have worked on a tool of their own called airgraph-ng. Now you cannot expect it to be extra stable right away, but it will definitely help you understand the airodump-ng’s output especialy. You can find it in the aircrack-ng package in the scripts subdirectory as it is a simple python script.
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
