How to Start Networking in Backtrack



This is always a huge topic and it seems simple to many of us but the fact of the matter is we have a lot of "new" people so we need to be clear about this sort of thing. (Note all commands should be run as root or with sudo)

1. To start networking in Backtrack 4 final issue the following command.

/etc/init.d/networking start

This will attempt to start all the interfaces in the /etc/network/interfaces file.

root@bt:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp


If you don't have or don't want some of these interfaces then simply remove the from this file and they will not start.

If you need to set a static IP just set the variables in the /etc/network/interfaces file

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1

You will also need to make sure you set a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf

root@bt:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.0.1

So for example if all you have is eth0 and wlan0 on your system and you want them both to get a adress via DHCP then remove every thing else for the file with the exception of the lo interface. Here is a example.

root@bt:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp


Now if are lazy and want all this to start at boot you can simply issue this command as root

update-rc.d networking defaults

This will create all the proper sym-links

What about ssh?

So while I am on the subject I may as well go over ssh. In order to use ssh on backtrack 4 final you need to generate the keys first.

sshd-generate

after that you can start ssh like this:

/etc/init.d/ssh start

or you can add it to the boot sequence like this:

update-rc.d ssh defaults

Well thats enough to get up and running. I hope this was somewhat helpful to any one just getting started with backtrack.,

Well, this is a small shell script I have written to make just any USB flash drive to a fully working persistent install of phenomenal BT. Well, the obvious question that may arise in your mind that why again another tutorial for the same persistent "thing". Well, I too don't favor re-inventing the old wheel. But IMHO this method has some advantages like:

- As easy as 1-2-3
- No need to format, partition the USB drive.

- No need to install grub. We can use the easy UnetBootin as we did earlier
- Interestingly we can share our pre-created BT4 "persistence" with our friends, even from Windows.
- Restore your persistence, incase of accidental or emergency USB disk format.
Now if any of the above points interests you, you can continue reading this thread. For this method you need to 1 bootable BT4 media (may be a DVD or bootable USB) and another with USB disk.
Now follow these steps:
1. Use UnetBootin tool to copy the BT4 ISO to your target USB drive.
2. Reboot your PC, with the second BT4 bootable media (e.g. DVD)
3. Connect your USB disk and mount it in Konqueror, in other words simply double click it.
4. Run the following script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
USB_PATH=none
RW_SIZE=none
clear
echo "WARNING: Before running this script, confirm that the target USB"
echo "drive has WRITE permission and it has been mounted. If you are"
echo "unsure press Ctrl+C and check before running this script again."
echo " "
sleep 3
echo "Enter the path to your mounted USB disk: (e.g. /media/disk-0):"
read USB_PATH
echo " "
echo "Enter the amount of space you want to allocate, in MB (e.g. 1024 = 1GB or 4096 = 4GB):"
read RW_SIZE
echo " "
echo "Stop all operations on target disk,"
echo "sleeping for 5 seconds before processing..."
sleep 5
echo " "
echo "Task starting, this may take several minutes..."
dd if=/dev/zero of/$USB_PATH/casper-rw bs=1M count=$RW_SIZE
mkfs.ext3 -F /$USB_PATH/casper-rw
echo "Task completed successfully. Reboot PC in persistent mode! :)"

5. In your target USB drive, open the file /syslinux.cfg in your favorite editor e.g. Kate and change the line

Code:

initrd=/boot/initrd.gz BOOT=casper boot=casper persistent rw quiet

to

Code:

initrd=/boot/initrd.gz BOOT=casper boot=casper persistent rw quiet vga=0x317

6. Reboot and enjoy persistence.

Now if you want to share your persistence with others or just want to keep a back-up so that you need to restore it later, for any reasons then plug in the USB disk and copy the casper-rw file to a safe location of your hard-disk. You can distribute this file with all your changes saved there in.

Thats all for now. Please be kind, if I made any mistakes.

IMMUNITY : Knowing You're Secure

Immunity Debugger is a powerful new way to write exploits, analyze malware, and reverse engineer binary files. It builds on a solid user interface with function graphing, the industry's first heap analysis tool built specifically for heap creation, and a large and well supported Python API for easy extensibility.

* A debugger with functionality designed specifically for the security industry
* Cuts exploit development time by 50%
* Simple, understandable interfaces
* Robust and powerful scripting language for automating intelligent debugging
* Lightweight and fast debugging to prevent corruption during complex analysis
* Connectivity to fuzzers and exploit development tools


The Best of Both Worlds
Immunity Debugger's interfaces include the GUI and a command line. The command line is always available at the bottom of the GUI. It allows the user to type shortcuts as if they were in a typical text-based debugger, such as WinDBG or GDB. Immunity has implemented aliases to ensure that your WinDBG users do not have to be retrained and will get the full productivity boost that comes from the best debugger interface on the market.

Commands can be extended in Python as well, or run from the menu-bar.
