local hacking?

That Linux System is for Testing Security or another way to say it is H4ck1ng.
I dont think its for Monitoring Local networks unless you're trying to h4ck yourself.
 
No, it is an auditing OS, for auditing security. There are plenty of 'hacking' tools built into the OS. It is basically a collection of powerful Linux hacking tools pre-compiled into an OS.
 
Thats a better way to say it rather than just monitoring. PS: n00bs that want to hack XD the tools are there to help you hack no to actually do the hack, You actually got to think with YOUR HEAD!
 
Well, hacking is honestly a pretty loose term and I honestly am not fond of the word. If you use a loop hole or a known exploit I would not consider that hacking, I would consider that a poor network administrator. People using zero day exploits, now that is more hacking in my mind.

Yes, you can download backtrack and run it, but if you don't know how to use it, it is useless to you. It is also hardware dependent on certain things. Like for example, not too many WiFi cards allow for packet injection. This is because there are no published source code out there for these wifi cards. They are too scared that if they go open source with them that the 'hackers' will do too many bad things. Thus, why we see crappy wireless card support for linux, and how some developers have used technologies like the ndis-wrapper which allows you to use the wifi card on a real basic level.
 
I've used BackTrack before no difference than a Normal KDE desktop .. The only thing thats good about it is that its a ALL-IN-ONE Operating System Tool.

By the Way Brian nothing bad is going to happen its just a Port Scanner what harm can it do...Or it could be a Auto-Mated port Pinger that trys to flood all your Ports or Maybe he/she is trying to find a Open port where to Strike with DoS---- Or to be safe get freeBSD UNIX® Based system .. Was voted Most Secure vs Linux.
