HackFest Series: Adding BackTrack Repositories to Ubuntu

[Lisa Kachold]

Backtrack is a security pentesting LiveCD/installation package built upon
Ubuntu similar debian linux distribution.  Backtrack maintains it's own
package repository of a great number of working tools for top down or bottom
up security testing, and exploits that provide a way to think outside of the
current matrix, see OSI layers in action, and learn:


   - Metasploit (vulnerability tester)
   - Snort (intrusion detection/prevention)
   - Hping (packet shaper)
   - Nmap (fe gui included)
   - Xprobe2 (OS identifier)
   - Cisco Auditing Tool
   - Curl
   - Httprint (and GUI)
   - Lynx (bare-bones browser)
   - Nikto (awesome free Web site vulnerability scanner)
   - SQL Scanner
   - Milw0rm archive
   - Dsniff
   - Ettercap
   - Hydra (password guesser)
   - John the Ripper
   - Wireshark (packet sniffer/analyzer)
   - Kismet
   - Airsnort
   - Bluesnarfer
   - SIPCrack
   - OllyDBG
   - Matahari
   - Loki
   - BEef

Backports are packages collection in repository that provide stable work
arounds for production or other systems where upgrading is not indicated.

Here's the Reference for how to add 3rd party distros to Ubuntu:

http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Jaunty#Third_party_repositories

HINTs:

As always, if a distro link fails, it's HTTP, so you can go verify it via
browser.

The keys are for archive.offensive-security.com so that's where you look.

The keys are good.
