An updated release of BackTrack 5, an Ubuntu-based distribution with specialist software designed for penetration testing, was announced (and released via BitTorrent) last week. Today direct downloads of ISO images are also possible. Here is a brief extract from the official release announcement: "We're finally ready to release BackTrack 5 R1. This HOWTOs on our Wiki in the next few days, such as VMware tool installation, alternate compat-wireless setups, etc. The kernel was updated to 2.6.39.4 and includes the relevant injection patches. We are really happy with this release, and believe that, as with every release, this is our best one yet. Some pesky issues such as rfkill in VMware with rtl8187 have been fixed and this provides for a much more solid experience with BackTrack." Download links: BT5R1-GNOME-32.iso (1,952MB), BT5R1-KDE-32.iso (2,037MB), BT5R1-GNOME-64.iso (1,984MB), BT5R1-KDE-64.iso (2,028MB)
