Add BackTrack

This document provides instructions for adding the BackTrack 5R3 Linux distribution to the Restored Hiren's Boot CD. BackTrack is a penetration testing and digital forensics Linux distribution that includes many security and reverse engineering tools. It is useful to include BackTrack on a bootable USB along with the Restored Hiren's Boot CD, as both distributions have grown in size and may no longer fit on a single DVD. The instructions explain how to download the BackTrack ISO, extract specific folders from it, and copy those folders to a USB or DVD that already contains the Restored Hiren's Boot CD in order to boot both distributions from one media.

Add BackTrack 5R3 to the Restored Hirens Boot CD

[email protected]

BackTrack is an Ubuntu based Linux live DVD for digital penetration (sic), forensics and testing. It includes many well known security and reverse engineering tools, e.g. Aircrack, Ophcrack, Gerix Wi Cracker, disassemblers, sniers, etc., as well as commonplace applications such as browsers, le managers, editors, torrent clients, etc. It is extremely useful to have and I always include it in my personal HBCD on a USB. Both the Restored HBCD and BackTrack have grown in size and it is not anymore possible to t them both in a regular DVD. Unless you go for a dual layer DVD the only option now is a USB ash drive. Instructions for putting the Restored HBCD in a bootable USB, are provided in a separate document included in the upload. Due to its size, do not include BackTrack in this upload. However it is very easy to download integrate it to a USB or DVD. Just follow the simple instructions that follow. Download the iso image from http://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads Open the BackTrack iso image with 7z, WinRar, Winmount (all are found in HBCDs Program Launcher), or any utility that can explore and extract les from iso images. Extract from the iso image the complete directories (folders) /casper and /preseed. The rest of the BackTrack iso image is not needed. Copy the extracted folders to the root directory of your already prepared HBCD USB. For how to prepare a bootable USB read separate instruction sheet. If you are rebuilding the HBCD DVD, open the iso image with an iso editor such as IsoMaster or UltraISO and add the directories there. Test the USB/DVD for booting. Backtrack is already included in the boot menu. It is found under Linux. To start the graphical environment type startx on the command prompt. Finally, when booting BackTrack from USB on some machines loading stops with the error message: Provide a name for Disk. If you see this message press ALT-F1 and then type something (e.g. disk) and then ENTER. Booting then will continue normally.
