[DEV] BACKTRACK 5 on Xperia X10 chroot


[ Screenshots ]


on startup (shell):




in GUI:



phone + BT5 GUI:





[ Requirements ]

• rooted device with busybox installed, if u are using CF-root kernel then u already have busybox installed
• Some apps from Android Market:
  • Android Terminal Emulator
  • androidVNC
  • [optional] highly recomended keyboard: Hacker's Keyboard
• 7zip (for PC), for extracting the files
• around 3.3 GB free on internal sdcard (/sdcard/)

[ How To : File Setup ]

u need to do this only once

1. download the files from the links provided in this thread
2. extract the files using 7zip to a temporary folder (needs 3.3GB free on that drive)
3. connect ur SGS2 to PC and mount USB storage
4. create a folder named 'bt' (without quotes) in the root of ur sdcard and copy the bt.img in that folder
5. also place the file bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2.zip in root of sdcard, this file has to be flashed via recovery
6. once u verify that the above is correct then un-mount usb storage
7. reboot into recovery and flash the file bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2.zip stored in root of sdcard (or if u are using CWM app then just select the file for flashing and the app will do the rest )
8. once ur phone reboots into OS just check the /sdcard/bt folder
9. final directory structure should look like this:
   • /sdcard/bt/bt
   • /sdcard/bt/bt.img
   • /sdcard/bt/installbt.sh
   • /sdcard/bt/startbt
   • /sdcard/bt/stopbt
10. once u verify that the above is correct then u can proceed

[ How To : Launch BT ]

1. start Terminal Emulator app on ur SGS2 and enter the following commands step by step (accept/allow any SuperUser request/popup that u may receive)
   • su
   • cd /sdcard/bt
   • sh installbt.sh
   • startbt
   • bt
2. now u are in BackTrack5 shell
   
   
3. to launch GUI (vncserver) enter the following command
   • ui
   
   now note the number N shown localhost:N
   e.g. as u can see from the above image that "New 'X' desktop is localhost:1", so N=1
   the vncserver is running at (5900 + N, N=1 ; so server port is 5901)
   
   
4. now launch androidVNC app on phone and fill in the detials as follows
   • Nick : bt
   • Address : 127.0.0.1
   • Port : 5901
   • Password : 12345678
   • Username : <leave it blank>
   • Color Format : 24-bit color (4 bpp)
   
   inside vnc window select input mode (i personally recommend the following)
   • TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)
5. and then press connect... now u are in BackTrack GUI!
   
   
6. if u want to exit/close BT5 then u need to follow these steps:
   • close the androidVNC app (Menu -> Disconnect)
   • go back into Terminal Emulator app and enter the following commands
     u should be at this shell root@localhost:~#
     • killui
     • exit
   • now u will get back to this shell> #
   • now enter the following commands to stop bt and exit
     • stopbt
     • exit
     • exit
   • u can now exit the Terminal Emulator app
   • i would also recommend that u reboot ur phone

[ Important Info ]

root password is 12345678

[ Tips n Tricks! ]

1. if u have ur device (SGS2) connected over wifi u can connect to the BT5 vncserver running on ur phone!! u will just need to connect to
   <ip_address_of_phone>:<portno>
   
   
   
   
2. most of the startup/launching commands can be executed even through adb shell
   

==== Reserved ===

few pointers as this has been asked many times

1) Monitor Mode will not work till someone tried to compile a custom wifi drivers with monitor mode enables, in that case also firmware should allow it.

2) Those using android-vnc-viewer and facing difficulty in navigation check various input modes.
These 3 works the best for me.

1. Touch Mouse; D-Pad Pan
2. Mouse pointer control mode
3. TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)

Excellent. I've been wanting to do this.

Back Track is running smoothly on my SGS2 with Lite'ning ROM.
