Backtrack moving forward

The folks who have brought us Backtrack are preparing to release the new version.  Instead of just putting out another static distribution, they've gone to a fully upgradable version that will allow them to maintain current versions of their tools.  A hugely bigger task, and way more useful for us - the users.

It's going to be renamed to Kali.  I can't wait to play with it.

Cool video teaser follows.

Pentesting with the Raspberry PI

I love the flood of cheap computing resources.  I've got a Raspberry PI sitting on the shelf now, just waiting for me to have a bit of spare time.

Here's a blog entry from last summer that I just came upon, where g13net ported BEEF to the Raspberry.

It turns out, this is just part of g13's pentesting toolkit for the Raspberry:

Looking at G13's blog, I also found a reference to another pentesting distribution for the Raspberry:
