BackTrack 4 Beta - the aftermath

Since my last blog post, we've had 49,000+ downloads of the BT4 Beta ISO, and 17,000+ downloads of the VMWare image. This does not include the torrents, direct downloads and shmoo edition copies.

Up to now, we have been getting awesome (!) feedbacks. Hardware compatibility is impressive.

A few minor bugs have been identified, which now can be easily fixed by updating our repo. This is where using well organised repositories pays off. We will be updating several packages and drivers in the near future.

Keep an eye on this blog for updates and package fixes. I will be posting them as they come.

Apropos insane downloads - there have been 2,482,000+ downloads of BT3 iso and 1,575,000+ downloads of the BT3 VM since they came out. Yes, thats "millions". Ph33r.

    Congrats on an impressive roll-out! Very happy to have my grubby little hands on it, running great on my mini note 2133 after fixing the video with the drivers in /opt/drivers.

    I have a toughbook now loaded with BT4 that my 10 year old uses. Might as well make sure he starts out on the right foot...

    muts (and the rest!), great job on BT4b. The functionality and ease of use just comes to show how much BT has gone through over the years, and how much time and effort have been put into it.

    To all you people that are complaining about hardware, software and image problems, this is not the place. Go to the remote-exploit forum and post it there. Also, your problem might have been solved already, so, do a quick search before you create a new thread for no reason.

    The new timepiece, featuring attractive black Bentley GT is crafted from stainless steel with a diameter of 43.5mm. The sapphire crystal face receives double anti-reflective coating. The Bentley Motors T back has special spiral-design to make Navitimer World and other audible indications clearly heard. The rubber strap boasts nice sporty look with iconic portholes. Of course, Chrono Superocean will be more strap options such as metal bracelet and leather or crocodile strap to meet different demands.


    The first thing which you think of when you go ahead to think of Christian Louboutin Sale will be the superb brand name of Christian Louboutin Pumps . These are the styles of Christian Louboutin Boots that are the best amongst all the other brands. The type of footwear that you will name as the very best of the class! When you reflect on shoes, the very first thing that comes to your thoughts is that this really is Christian Louboutin Sandals which will never ever disappoint you.


    Coach Wallets also has an embossed berry leather hang tag. The pleat in the front is adorned with two silver Coach Ergo embossed rings connected with a white accent scarf. Coach Poppy is lined with satin fabric, has two interior pockets and one interior zip pocket. The Kyra berry hobo is zip-closed and measures 13 x 11 x 3 inches. Last but certainly not the least is the Coach Luggage Purse. It is also made from genuine leather, this time in metallic bronze tint.
