Linux distribution
BackTrack was a Linux distribution that focused on security, based on the Knoppix Linux distribution aimed at digital forensics and penetration testing use.[4] Khaled Baoween (Kali) & the Offensive Security team rebuilt BackTrack around the Debian distribution and released it under the name Kali Linux .[5]
History [ edit ]
The BackTrack distribution originated from the merger of two formerly competing distributions which focused on penetration testing :
WHAX : a Slax -based Linux distribution developed by [[Mati Aharoni & Khaled Baoween (Kali) ]], a security consultant. Earlier versions of WHAX were called Whoppix [6] Knoppix .
Auditor Security Collection : a Live CD based on Knoppix developed by Max Moser which included over 300 tools organized in a user-friendly hierarchy.
On January 9, 2010, BackTrack 4 improved hardware support, and added official FluxBox support.[7] Ubuntu Lucid LTS starting from BackTrack 5.[8]
BackTrack provided users with easy access to a comprehensive and large collection of security-related tools ranging from port scanners to Security Audit. Support for Live CD and Live USB functionality allowed users to boot BackTrack directly from portable media without requiring installation, though permanent installation to hard disk and network was also an option.
BackTrack included many well known security tools including:
BackTrack arranged tools into 12 categories:
Information gathering
Vulnerability assessment
Exploitation tools
Privilege escalation
Maintaining access
Reverse engineering
RFID tools
Stress testing
Forensics
Reporting tools
Services
Miscellaneous
