Black Ubuntu vs. Backtrack

It would seem that there is a debate on whether it is better to use Black Ubuntu installed on a "rooted" Android device rather than use the Kali Linux version of Backtrack Linux.

Backtrack aircrack Android

Install Backtrack/Kali Linux on an Android tablet.

The details are on my website.

Run the Metasploit Framework on an ARM-based device,  or even a TI OMAP 4430 or an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor.

A day in the life of the internet hacked and mapped

 Guardian 27 March 2013

This has nothing to do with "Hacking" - it is just the same thing that Google did when it mapped" WiFi hotspots when it was doing its Streetview drive-by.

I think the article is now to do with data-mapping. This is not what the commenters on the blog picked up on.

WiFi hotspots (routers in the article) can be "seen" regardless of whether they are "secured" or not. It is not "easier" just because the passwords were left at the factory default - if this is what the originator of the story is saying.

A review of penetration testing software

I have a review of the current, and recent, "pen" testing software and have posted it on my website tempusfugit.ca

This software is either used by me to audit WiFi networks or it has been evaluated for possible use.

If you have anything add to the review, software that I may have missed or needs consideration, I can add it to the review.

Installing Ubuntu Touch on an Android Tablet

As a long-time Linux user I am particularly interested in doing this.

My goal is to be able to run a decent editor such as Gedit so that I can author and edit web pages. It would also be nice to be able to upload image files to this blog using a tablet. This is a limitation that the Apple iPad seems to have. I guess that is the lack of access to the file system such that you cannot get Google Blogger to generate a list of images to choose from.

In my experiments with Android I think that the image/blog issue is solved but I can't remember attempting it. In any case the editing of files using the Android operating system was lacking when I experimented last year.

I will attempting, another, Linux install on an Android device in the near future.
