:pac: How to Install BackTrack 5
Download Parallels from Mecho Download

Download BackTrack from here:

http://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads/

(I use the Gnome 64bit version, works well)

Then Select
• Other Linux Kernel 2.6
• Search for the BackTrack ISO, you just downloaded
• If it hangs, push enter
• Click the first option in the menu
• This will allow you to boot into a Live CD
• Then install by clicking the desktop icon
• At reboot type at the root command:

root

password: toor;

and to get to your desktop type: startx

OR

The easier and quicker option. I created a BackTrack 5 VM Image of my own that you can download (2.38GB), so you do not have to download and install via Parallels, very easy to add to your list of virtual machines.

It is the 64-bit Gnome version. It has a few extra features to help beginners get familiar with Linux based terminal commands.

It also has the following installed that the original download does not have:
• Parallels VM Image (tested on Mac, not sure about Windows, let me know!)
• Parallels Tools installed
• Everything accessible on the desktop
• Custom built for WEP aircrack-ng penetration testing using Realtek RTL8187L interface (other cards should work too)
• Easy to use scripts with helpful prompts, minimal typing required to test WEP networks
• Installed Synaptic Package Manager (keep your system up to date, install packages without terminal)
• Latest Kismet 2011-03-2 (will require modification of the kismet.conf file for your card) [optional]
• Link to kismet.conf file on desktop
• Helpful document to recover WEP key networks manually (simple copy and paste into terminal)
• Macchanger GUI App (able to change your MAC Address)
