Back|Track 5 Release Date - May 10th 2011 -
Get ready for the Revolution !!
(compliments for this trailer to Zuse Design)
BackTrack 5 codename Revolution
- Professional Linux Security Penetration Testing Distribution -
BackTrack 5 aka Revolution will be presented during the 12th edition of the Solutions Linux/Open event on 10 May 2011 in Paris.
I think we all know this Distribution, but for me this release has features that exceed the previous versions, making it an excellent Distribution for advanced Penetration Testing.
In recent months I have seen the birth of some "Clones" or new projects (including one Italian) but I do not reviewed this because I think it is very away from the performance, tools, and especially the constant work done by a Developer Team and Testing of BackTrack Comunity.
I take this opportunity to greet someone "Surfer" very active (I apologize to the other non-specified but are too many) Balding_Parrot, ArchangelAmael, Mister_X, pureh@ate, Muts, Ryujin, ReL1k, Fnord0, Merlok, g0tmi1k, . . . . . .
BackTrack 5 is intended for all audiences from the most savvy security professionals to early newcomers to the Information Security field.
Release notes:
- This release will be based on Ubuntu Lucid (10.04 LTS) but with Kernel 2.6.38 and now will support 64bit and ARM in addition the 32 bit architectures.
- Streamlined ISO downloads of each Desktop Environment.
- Support KDE 4.6, Gnome 2.6, and Fluxbox.
- Metasploit Framework 3.7.0
- Stealth Forensics Mode.
- Tool list has completely been revamped and refreshed.
- Offensive Security software repositories
- Source Code in repository.
- Each tool's functionality was assessed and decided upon before inclusion to BT5.
- And much more . . . . . .
For Users Who have already had a first approach with previous versions this will make finding and using the right tools much easier.
Instead for the "Insiders", this will save time having already all the main tools updated and remapped more user-friendly.
Compliments to BackTrack Development team and external User who have worked and contributed to this work successful.Download BackTrack 5 Revolution from BackTrack official Website.
Enjoy, Jano
