As said before backtrack isn't meant to be your daily OS. There's a reason why there's no flash, networking interfaces not started, etc. As well as always running root. You need to take a more practical approach to Linux before you start skidding all over Backtrack randomly running tools that you don't even know the syntax, none the less understand how and why the program does what it does. I suggest getting familiar with Linux (since you want to use backtrack, go with Ubuntu or Debian as they are the base of Backtrack) and learn simple bash commands, as well as learn how to use google and the man pages available for commands and applications. Also its best to not install backtrack, unless you're installing it on a USB as persistent, otherwise keep it as a live disk/live USB.

Hi,

first of all I would recommend using Ubuntu 12.04 which is the long-term support release. Next I need to know which image you have installed (Desktop or Server Edition)? VMware tools already installed? How do you try to access the VM? (via ssh or with the vmware remote console)? Which VMware Product do you use?

With these information I may be able to help you.

startx? Idk. Does it give you a terminal? Or just a blank screen?

At last, my assignment 3.

            System.out.println("Enter the amount you want to move the cipher?");
            int move = amount();
            System.out.print("The encrypted string is: ");
            System.out.println(encrypt(userinput, move));
        }
        input.close();

    public static String userInput() {
        String userinput = input.nextLine();
        return userinput;

    private static int amount() {
        String p = input.nextLine();
        int places = Integer.parseInt(p);
        return places;
    }

    private static String encrypt(String input, int places) {
          char[] charArray = input.toCharArray();
        for(int index = 0; index < charArray.length; index++)
        {
            if(places < 0)
            {
                charArray[index]=(char) (126 + places);
            }else{
            charArray[index] += places;
            }

        String s = new String(charArray);

}


Yes, many times.  And since I don't have my main computer running right now, I just copied and pasted the code I posted into a new project on this computer.  My code works perfectly.  I have no idea what you're talking about.  Care to elaborate on what error you're getting, or how it doesn't work?
