may 10, its in the tittle, they will discontinue help for backtrack 4 tho

cheers

Yes I know. There was a version 4 of. B who runs on a N900 - but it seams it was until now only a commercial Version. May be V5 ist free ? ...

Michaelxy: There was never a commercial version of anything BackTrack. There was a phase when NeoPwn2 (a supposed-to-eventually-free-but-then-****-happened-and-it-went-downhill-from-there) pen-testing suite for the N900 was being associated with the phrase "BackTrack Mobile" - but that went out the window as the dev of NeoPwn2 thought BackTrack devs were going to help with that - or that's as close as I can get with deductions of what was said and no insider access to what went on with that project.

NeoPwn (www.neopwn.com) ended up stagnating and dying (not sure what happened to it then), then sometime later something like PwnPhone appeared, which was a commercial project that was possibly from the same developer but last I checked that was just speculation - www.pwnieexpress.com was the site of said project.

Anyway, the point is it was never an official BackTrack suite, nor used the name.

Meanwhile, I'm thus far happy with my N900's pentesting capabilities without needing to install the BackTrack suite - I get that it has far more tools than I'll probably ever compile for the N900 myself, but I have everything I even remotely know how to use already available. (Though you can boot of a dedicated MicroSD, allowing you to keep the phone's internal storage forensically clean... But if you're doing pen "testing" that requires making your device forensically clean that's dubious use-cases anyway.)

Either way, looking forward to seeing what people do once the ARM image is released. I'm sure it'd make it's way onto the N900, and we already know our device is capable of running stuff like it (both seperate full ARM Linuxes in chroots, and much of the pentesting programs out there).

guys backtrack is now available here
