Backtrack

What is BackTrack?

BackTrack is a Linux-based penetration testing arsenal that aids security professionals in the ability to perform assessments in a purely native environment dedicated to hacking. The latest revision (BT4 R2) is based on Ubuntu but has its own repository.

This article has for ambition to describe all tools contained in the distribution, and will be split into many episodes.
