Alright, so this is a guide to finally get the backtrack 5 software running inside of webtop. It uses chroot and xterm to allow full access to the software contained within the backtrack 5 arm image.

Prerequisites:

CWM Installed:
For all version: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138541

WebTopMOD installed:
For 2.3.4 go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169457
For 1.8.3 go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093790

You do not need to download the Debian disk image. Will we be using the backtrack disk image instead.

BusyBox Installed in /system/bin:
Downloaded "BusyBox Installer" from the app store.
BE SURE TO INSTALL IN /SYSTEM/BIN!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

The Goods:

BackTop.zip:
Download and un-zip the attached files into /sdcard/bt
BackTop.zip

BackTrack 5 ARM Image:
PART 1 : Download Link : http://bit.ly/p1BT5
PART 2 : Download Link : http://bit.ly/BT5p2
PART 3 : Download Link : http://bit.ly/BT5p3

These download links are from the xperia backtrack project and where I took inspiration to get it working in webtop. After using 7z to unarchive just place bt.img in the /sdcard/bt folder. The archives other contents can be safely ignored.

What you should have by now:
WebTOPMOD for Atrix.
BusyBox Installed in /system/bin.
Downloaded scripts placed in the /sdcard/bt folder.
Downloaded bt.img placed in the /sdcard/bt folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Give it a go:
Step 0: Connect the phone to display/lapdock. Run webtop and wait for it to boot.
Step 1: Open LXTerminal from the dock and type "cd /sdcard/bt"
Step 2: To run BackTop type "sudo bash backtop"

You should be presented with a white xterm screen. You can now use all the utilities built into backtrack 5 with ease. You can even run the gnome desktop environment! (More on that bellow)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Running Gnome:
You first need to kill off all the webtop crap do this by typing the following in xterm.
"ps ax|grep awn|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill"
"ps ax|grep panel|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill"

Then start gnome by typing "gnome-session" in xterm.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Accessing sdcards:
You'll need to make two directories inside of backtrack /sdcard and /sdcard-ext to do this type:

"sudo mkdir /sdcard"
"sudo mkdir /sdcard-etc"

Once you've done this simply reboot your phone and restart BackTop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Known issues:
ettercap causes network connectivity inside of webtop to fail.

If something does go terribly wrong you can always force quit backtop with the following command:

"sudo bash /sdcard/bt/forcekillbt"

7z issue with the bt.7z

Hum... I might be doing something wrong but I am not able to uncompress the 3 volumes posted in the links... I was able to download them all but the only one who actually I can uncompress is the first one and it generate a file bt.7z that I am also unable to uncompress... I am getting the following msg when I try to 7unzip them:

"cannot open file 'x:\xx\xx\bt.7z.002' as archive"

Should I join them all into one then use 7zip?

Forget it I just found it out by myself... is using a program to join them all into one then Unzip it.

webtop when connected to hdmi not doing anything...

I was trying to use this backtrack distro on my AT&T Atrix and I must admit that I am a kind of noob on this ... I wasn't seeing big advantage until now that we have bt to use instead of the stock version...

I have no Lapdock so I am using Ronaldo_9 CWM version to run Webtop on HDMI in my GB 2.3.4 ( 4.5.91 from Kenneth Penn ). It was working til I followed these instructions ;)...

Well a little bit of what I did:

1- Downloaded the WebTopMOD from Joe Ferreira v2 to install with CWM.
2- Got also BusyBox installed through the BusyBox Installer over my /system/bin
3- Downloaed (even knowing it's not needed) the Debian disk from Joe Ferreira link (to install webtopmod).
4- Downloaded the BlackTrack 5 image from the links on the first post
5- Downloaded the BackTop.zip from the first post
6- Created the /sdcard/bt folder and put only the bt.img and forcekillbt and backtop files from Backtop.zip file onto it...
7- Plugged in my HDMI cable over my tv (yes I have no lapdock)
8- The Webtop option pop's up and when I selected it.....

Nothing happened... not even an error msg or stuff... the only thing still working is EC... but webtop none.... Does anyone of you have any clue or hint of what can I do about it?

EDIT: Got it working... it was because of the broken V2 WebtopMOD so I flashed the V1 and everything went fine.... Thank you all for not helping it made me a better researcher :cool:

BCM4329 supports Promiscuous Mode and Multiple Monitor mode.
It supports Packet Injection, too.

The WiFi module needs to be modified for enabling these things... I'm currently working on GenTop, but after finishing that work I can take a look at it and see if I'm skilled enough to enable it on the driver.

    its a pen testing Linux suit. its essentially Linux loaded up with hacking tools meant for testing networks to prevent hacking or "penetration". hack your own network. discover the vulnerabilities. and patch them. - to put it simply
