The highest rated and praised Linux operating system for security professionals and hackers
BackTrack was an open source Linux distribution that could be used by security professionals for penetration testing and digital forensics tasks in a native computing environment dedicated to hacking. It has been officially discontinued in February 2014.
Distributed as 32-bit/64-bit Live DVDs with GNOME and KDE
Thanks to Softpedia, users can still download BackTrack Linux and install it on their personal computers or laptops. It is distributed as four Live DVD ISO images, supporting the GNOME and KDE desktop environments, as well as both 64-bit and 32-bit architectures.
Boot options
The Live DVDs feature a custom boot menu that allows users to start the live environment in stealth mode (without network connection), forensics mode (without drive or swap mount), text mode, safe mode, as well as to boot the existing OS or test the RAM for errrors.
When booting the Live DVD, users will be dropped to a shell prompt, where they need to execute the startx command in order to enter the live session, which provides users with a traditional desktop environment (KDE or GNOME).
The world's best penetration testing tools
The distribution has been heavily customized to be used in real-life penetration testing tasks. It includes a vast collection of security oriented applications and provides users with two popular desktop environments. As a matter of fact, it is the only Linux distribution in the world that contains so many security applications. It is geared towards experts and novice security users alike.
The security-oriented applications have been arranged into 12 categories: information gathering, vulnerability assessment, exploitation tools, privilege escalation, maintaining access, reverse engineering, RFID tools, stress testing, forensics, reporting tools, services, and miscellaneous.

BackTrack was reviewed by Marius Nestor- After months of development, bug fixes, upgrades, and the addition of 42 new tools, we are happy to announce the full release of BackTrack 5 R2 available for download now. Running our custom-built 3.2.6 kernel with the best wireless support available, this is our fastest and best release of BackTrack yet. In the past few weeks, we have had a flood of submissions to our BackTrack Redmine Tracker with submissions for many new tools and dozens of packages that needed to be updated and this has helped to make this one of the strongest releases we’ve ever had.
- Once again, our good friends over at Paterva have created a special BackTrack edition of Maltego 3.1.0 for your data mining pleasure and we have also included their recently-released CaseFile tool to help you organize and collate data from numerous sources. If you have never used these tools before, you really need to…they will change the way your interact with data and conduct reconnaissance.
