Linux backtrack

[silenthunder]

I have Linux Backtrack on a couple different live CD's (for KDE and Gnome 32 and 64 bit) and it looks really fun to play with but I don't have enough time on my hands to learn how to use it on my own. Anyone know of any good tutorials on it? I didn't see one on the site but I may have overlooked it..

Well, their forums have plenty of tutorials for you to try. Also, most of the tutorials here in EZ will work with backtrack.
How comfortable are you with linux?
What kind of attacks are you familiar with?
What kind of attacks would you like to learn about?

However  old this may sound ... but learn some linux first.
Else its pretty much useless.

I would recommend reading specific books on the tools. Go for metasploit, wireshark and nmap. Although if you do some searching in the ebook section there is a post with a Backtrack ebook. There are also individual books on the tools I just mentioned.

Use the search function

Honestly I have never done any real-time hacking, most of what I do is learn and do hardware hacks. I got backtrack because it seemed like a good place to start with a new kind of hacking.

I do know a little bit of linux but not very much, I've just played around with Ubuntu and Redhat. I plan on learning more soon.

Then my advice would be to learn linux first. Knowing how to install and use linux's graphical interface is not what we are talking about here. It is very important you know how to use the command line interface.

First of all, as mentioned above, learn linux. And dont try to like for GUI's to do much, backtrack doesn't have many tools that actually with an official working GUI, its all done through a console (makes you look far more Ub3r K00L 7334). And oddly enough, make sure your mouse works with it to. I have a RAT 7, but have completely unplug it and use a small wireless mouse instead. Its probably a simple driver issues, I just haven't cared that much. Use google, look around, tons of help is out there on starting Linux and backtrack, you just have to go looking for it. What I personally did was chose a tool that sounded interesting, forced myself to learn how to use it and how it works, and then move on to the next tool.

gl hf, have fun learning

I have old-ass mouses that work with anything, lol yeah I've tested them with it and they work. I know all about having to use the console and stuff, as the desktop I installed Ubuntu on had a wireless card in it and I had to install the drivers for it (that took fucking 5 hours to do without a guide -.-), but I'm not very adept at it. When I downloaded it, I knew enough about Linux to assume that it was mostly console command-based. The main reason I'm asking for tut's instead of searching for them is the same reason that I'm not learning it on my own, not enough time. But I think I got some free time this weekend to do some googling for tut's if nobody's got any on hand. I like your idea about learning the tools one by one, I think I'll go with the same method..
