whats up bro, I have another question for you. Is it possible to set up Backtrack 5 in Vmware Player, without having to burn Backtrack on to a Cd??? If so, How do I do this??

@Jace919NC Locate the ISO on your computer and when you go to Create a New Virtual Machine pick Installer disc image file (iso) and browse to locate the ISO of Backtrack

@PhiberOptics Thanks

@akimes02 All i can tell you is look around for one you like that has a RTL8187L Chipset Highly recommend that chipset. The Problem with little USB pendrives is they normally don't have a long antenna on them which means your not going to pick up alot of networks with a 5-9dbi+ antenna you can pick up networks from as far as 1-2 blocks depending on how much stuff is in the way. Better to use it on a tell building with a clear view.

@PhiberOptics hey could you recommend me a pendrive like usb adapter ??...

[akimes02]

@PhiberOptics thanx for the info....maybe i will be getting it

[PhiberOptics]

@akimes02 Yes the alfa awus036h is one of the best to use.

1. They have a Long Antenna for picking up networks from up to 1 block or 2 blocks if your in a high building with a clear view

2. They work with linux out of the box plug it in and it should detect.

3. There around $30 on ebay. Maybe you can find them on Amazon.

@PhiberOptics so i need to buy the compatible wireless adapter

[PhiberOptics]

@akimes02 Not in the least up set. I dunno where people miss the part on needing a compatible wireless card ;/

[akimes02]

@PhiberOptics sorry just asking man...chill out

[PhiberOptics]

@akimes02 People never listen I swear You need a Compatible Wireless card not just any card will work. If your wireless card don't work then its not supported for linux thats why its not showing up. Nothing you can do but buy a card that works with linux and i've said many times in my videos what card to use.
