In this Lab, we are going to go over the incredibly simple creation of a non-persistent bt toolset on a USB pendrive.
Pendrive Tool Building from Windows
[Vmware bt versions also exist, as an excellent emergency option]
NOTE: Before attempting to create this tool, be sure that your BIOS are new enough to allow you to boot from USB.
BackTrack is a Live Linux distribution based on SLAX that is focused on penetration testing. Distributed by remote-exploit.org,
BackTrack comes prepackaged with
security tools including SNORT, Metasploit examples, network analyzers, password crackers, wireless
tools and fuzzers.

How to install BackTrack to a USB device:
Note:
USB installation of BacktTack performs like the Live CD.
1. Obtain the ISO (Portable Backtrack) USB BackTrack (Extended) http://www.remote-exploit.org/cgi-bin/fileget?version=bt3-usb
Source MD checksum:
Description: USB Version (Extended)
Name:: bt3final_usb.iso
Size: 784 MB
MD5: 5d27c768e9c2fef61bbc208c78dadf22
SHA1: 3aceedea0e8e70fff2e7f7a7f3039704014e980f
2. Extract the Boot and BT3 folders to the root of your USB device.
3. Navigate to the Boot folder on your "USB device" and click bootinst.bat (click continue if the following error appears)
Here's how this might look using Windows:
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to make the device bootable5. Once the USB install script has finished, reboot your computer and set your BIOS or Boot Menu to boot from the USB devicePendrive Tool Building using Linux:
Building a pendrive from bt or another linux distro can be trivially completed by following any of these references:
