Forensics on Backtrack 4

Up at the Offensive Security blog, we put up a little introduction to the forensic additions to Backtrack in this new version.

I have been really enjoying the new BT, a very well put together OS. (And to think, I used to be a BSD head.) The forensic additions to it are really simple, but do the job. I tested them out quite a bit, and everything came back clean. As it is a new forensic tool, I don't suggest anyone use it until they test it out.

Any problems with the forensic side are on me. Let me know if anything comes up, but I am confident that it is going to be very useful. The offsec and remote-exploit crew really put together something special here.

Backtrack 4

Informer subscribers have access to the Pre-Final version of BT4!

With this install, all future updates will be released though a simple apt-get upgrade. So if you don't have a subscription to Informer already, do so now then not have to DL an updated version again.

New version has an installer, forensic boot mode, etc etc. I have been using it for a bit here, and it is a great update to the older versions. There are a ton of videos on how to interact with it up at the Offensive-Security blog.
