Ok, so i tried the hacking administator thing...and so i tried to make this bootable USB...so i downloaded and saved all the things to my flash drive, then i restarted my computer and i pressed F12, i then selected my sandisk USB thing, then it gave me a screen with 4 options:search for (somthing i dont remember, but it didnt say anything about windows)reboothalt(and then another thing i dont remember, but it had something to do with shutting down i think...)PLEASE HELP ME! IDK WHAT TO DO!(to clarify, i need help with step 2)


Step 1:Run Universal Usb InstallerYou can run universal usb installer by double clicking it(no need of installation). Select Backtrack 5 or Backtrack 5 R1(it is included in latest version) or select your backtrack version.


VMware workstation is not exactly cheap although there is a free version, but anyone who has used torrent or other P2P utilities know that getting things such as this is easy. There is a 30 day free trial for VMware workstation if you want to check it out. VMware player is the best bet because it is free and will run Backtrack. It does not have all the options of VMware workstation but does work.The download for the newest Backtrack 5 installs and so can be found here -5-download . Install VMware first then add the Backtrack VMware image software into it. One thing to mention is that a built in wireless adapter will not work with VMware and Backtrack, a Backtrack wireless USB adapter will have to be bought which is why I have been reviewing Backtrack compatible USB adapters in other post.


My 3 year old gateway laotpp with Intel Centrino Mobile technology works great but I was getting frustrated trying to connect to WIFI with only a B internal card. Since the laotpp was out of warranty anyway, ignoring the do not open sticker on the wireless cover on the bottem of the laotpp was no problem, and installation was a breeze, just uninstall the old drivers in the add/remove programs area of Windows XP, shut down,replace the card, then boot up and install the new drivers for the B/G card I had downloaded prior to this from Intel. Works like a charm without having to deal with an external card.


The best and easiest method would be downloading from Torrent. This would also be a great alternative, even if the direct link goes down. Here we provide you with two alternative torrent links, and you can easily download BackTrack 5 R3 ISO files.


The second way is the most straightforward one, and you have to download it directly. You can use different file-sharing services to upload BackTrack 5 R3. But at times, these services can go down or have problems since they are free hosting sites.InstallingHere we provide you the link from Softpedia and another alternative link. Softpedia is one of the most popular sources of backtrack 5 downloads.if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined')ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'techwhoop_com-medrectangle-4','ezslot_1',179,'0','0']);__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-techwhoop_com-medrectangle-4-0');


I have a Toshiba satellite c885d running windows 8.1. I have a lexar 4 gigabyte usb flashdrive. It says on the back: LJDS50-4GB. I used Linuxlive usb creator and backtrack 5 r3 gnome 32 bit. I downloaded the ISO from backtrack-linux.org.


If I hit enter when usb is selected, it takes me to a black screen that says two words (something like checking usb, but I forgot. I will put in an edit that will contain a picture and the exact text.) then after 2 seconds, it says failed, and then launches windows. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out. I tried researching a solution to the problem, none of which worked. I have successfully run backtrack from the VM thingy that linuxlive has with all of the usb stuff, and It works fine, but it is really slow, as I have too many windows processes running at the same time. If anyone can diagnose me with a problem, awesome. If you can give me a solution, stupendous.


The method that I describe in this tutorial can works with any computer running Windows 7/Vista/XP system. To get started, you need to download a live edition of BackTrack Linux distribution and burn that ISO image to a CD (you could also burn BackTrack on a USB drive). Either way, you will need to boot in to Linux to hack your forgotten Windows 7/Vista/XP password.


The Kali website is the only recommendable source where one can download the Kali Linux ISO images. Many websites offer Kali images due to their popularity, but they should not be trusted because some may contain viruses that could cause serious harm to your system. In addition, the Kali Linux website is protected by HTTPS, making impersonation more difficult.


To protect their data and networks and their clients, security experts must check the integrity of their tools. While the Kali websites and URLs are TLS-protected, Kali distributes the image over a network of external mirrors means one should not trust everything they download. It is possible that the mirror someone recommends was hacked or was the target of an assault.


The provenance of the checksum is indirectly ensured by the X.509 credential safety model when one obtains it from the TLS-protected download webpage: the material that is seen comes from a site that is successfully under the control of the one who requested the TLS certificate.


BackTrack 5: BackTrack can be downloaded from their official website located at -linux.org. The software is open source and you should be able to download it directly from the website.


We can also install BackTrack within virtualization software such as Virtual Box. For readers who might not want to dedicate a full laptop to BackTrack, this is the best option. The installation process of BackTrack in Virtual Box is exactly the same. The only difference is the pre-setup, which you will have to create in Virtual Box. Have a go at it! You can download Virtual Box from


A: On the BackTrack website ( -linux.org/downloads/) or using third-party mirrors like OR ), you will find two different formats of BackTrack version 4 (recently BackTrack 5 is out and hence you may not find version 4 on the official site but the mirror sites like OR still provide it). One is formatted in ISO image file. You can use this file format if you want to burn it to a DVD, USB, Memory Cards (SSD, SDHC, SDXC, etc) or want to install BackTrack directly to your machine. The second file format is VMWare image. If you want to use BackTrack in a virtual environment, you might want to use this image to speed up the installation and configuration.


There is no 4G. Much like the secret to bending spoons in "The Matrix," the next generation of wireless networks is very cool but built on a bit of misdirection. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); In fact, the international standards body that determines network definitions recently ruled that true 4G requires minimum download speeds of 100 megabits per second. No wireless company in the world is close to offering that sort of performance, but that hasn't stopped carriers from branding their next-gen networks as 4G. "The carriers won't backtrack on their marketing efforts," said Harry Wang, director of mobile and health research at Dallas-based research firm Parks Associates. "They do want to confuse you a little bit." The latest carrier to offer 4G is Verizon Wireless, which recently activated its 4G service in Dallas and 37 other cities nationwide. The big three carriers that have launched 4G service are all using different technologies to reach that fourth-generation threshold. As a result of throwing precision to the wind, there are no formal technical specifications for the performance consumers can expect when they sign up for 4G. That said, these wireless 4G technologies rival the performance of wired options such as DSL and cable modems. "We're going to ensure the user has a great experience," said Frank Antonacci, region president in Dallas for Verizon Wireless. Antonacci spoke at a demo last week at the Plano offices of 4G network equipment supplier Alcatel-Lucent. Alcatel and Ericsson AB helped Verizon build its 4G network using a standard known as LTE. Ericsson, which has its North American headquarters in Plano, also helped prepaid carrier MetroPCS Communications Inc. build out its 4G LTE network. While Richardson-based MetroPCS has its 4G network up and running in a handful of cities, including Dallas, the speeds are much slower right now than the 4G speeds on the bigger carriers. During the Verizon demo, a PC connected to the carrier's 4G network flawlessly displayed multiple simultaneous streaming videos from Netflix, YouTube and other sources while streaming music in the background from online service Pandora. Download speeds on the network peaked at nearly 20 Mbps, but Verizon says most users will see speeds ranging from five to 12 Mbps. That's a huge increase over the 600 kilobits to 1.4 megabits per second normally seen on Verizon's existing 3G network. So while the International Telecommunication Union might not be willing to call that 4G, the technology will clearly open up a range of new mobile applications. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push(); LIKE AT HOME, OFFICE Wang at Parks Associates said video will be the most obvious beneficiary of 4G speeds. "Right now, you try streaming Netflix on your phone during peak hours, and your experience might be disrupted," he said. "On 4G, you might not have that issue." "It's the first wireless technology that's like the Internet you're used to at home or in the office, but in a much broader area," said Teresa Kellett, director of 4G at Sprint Nextel Corp. Sprint launched its 4G service two years ago over a network owned by Clearwire. Unlike Verizon's LTE-based network, Clearwire used a standard called WiMax. Sprint already has two 4G smart phones on the market, the HTC EVO 4G and the Samsung Epic 4G, as well as modems, netbooks and mobile Wi-Fi hotspots (hockey-puck-size devices that rebroadcast a cellular signal as Wi-Fi). Sprint's technology also fails to qualify as 4G under the recently published ITU guidelines. But the service delivers average download speeds in the range of three to six Mbps, multiple times faster than Sprint's 3G network. The vast majority of carriers around the world are adopting LTE, though, and it's possible Sprint could eventually switch to that standard. But the company assures its current WiMax subscribers that there's no chance of their new phones suddenly losing 4G service.WHAT'S IN A NAME? The third carrier to hop on the 4G train so far is T-Mobile USA Inc. That carrier's method of reaching 4G status is potentially the most confusing to users. T-Mobile has been steadily upgrading its 3G network over the last several years, most recently boosting download speeds by adopting a standard called HSPA+. Dallas-based AT&T Inc. is also rolling out HSPA+ across its existing 3G footprint. AT&T and T-Mobile initially both kept the "3G" branding for the HSPA+ service, although only a handful of 3G devices on both carriers are capable of taking full advantage of the HSPA+ speeds. But a few months ago, T-Mobile decided that the Internet speeds it was seeing on its HSPA+ service were fast enough that it could rebrand the service as 4G. "The experience is clearly on par or in some cases better than what's currently marketed as 4G in this country," said Mark McDiarmid, senior director in engineering and operations at T-Mobile. "From our perspective, it really is fundamentally about the consumer experience." While 4G is great, if you venture out of covered regions, you get dropped back onto 3G. And it will take years and billions of dollars before 4G networks fully cover existing 3G markets. AT&T won't launch its 4G LTE network until next year because it wants to bolster its 3G network to ensure those 4G-to-3G hand-offs don't result in drastic drops in data speeds, said spokesman Mark Siegel. "I think the concern that we have is making sure customers have a stable and consistent experience," he said. Eventually, though, 4G will far outpace 3G. T-Mobile says its HSPA+ 4G network is capable of speeds as high as 21 Mbps, and it will make further upgrades next year to double that theoretical maximum. All of the 4G services should get faster over time. Verizon Wireless says its network is capable of eventually offering download speeds of 100 Mbps, while Sprint says it has done technical trials showing download speeds of 70 Mbps over WiMax. As those speeds accelerate, new applications become possible. Antonacci at Verizon said everything from refrigerators to cars could soon be plugged into 4G networks, allowing your fridge to automatically order new water filters, for example, or your car to stream video to your dashboard. And if you're not thrilled with the notion of adding a data plan for your icebox, how about getting a strong enough cell signal in your house that you can finally dump your landline phone? Verizon says the 700 megahertz signal it's using to deliver 4G is ideally suited for penetrating walls. So how much will 4G cost? It varies from carrier to carrier. Sprint has added a $10-per-month surcharge to all its 4G smart phones compared with their 3G cousins but still allows you to download as much data as you want. T-Mobile doesn't cap your data usage on its unlimited plans, but it does lower your download speeds when you pass a monthly quota. And Verizon, at least on the two USB modems for sale today, offers capped plans with per-gigabyte overage charges. But Wang at Parks Associates said carriers can't afford to raise data prices much higher than they are now if they want customers to adopt 4G. "For the majority of consumers, probably they will be comfortable at a price plan at a similar level to what they're currently doing," he said. ---A LOOK AT 4G AT THE BIG FOUR 4G networks offered by the four main carriers:VERIZON WIRELESS 4G service available now?
