BEST OPERATING SYSTEM FOR HACKERS

Today i will share with you which operating system i use for hacking activities. My favorite operating system is Backtrack Linux and Windows XP not because they are easier to use but because i love their vast functionality and features. But you can also give a try to Matriux Operating System and knoppix , Matriux OS is just awesome but its still under construction as designers are still working on it and patching it. Now lets discuss more about functionality of Backtrack operating system. I will not discuss more about windows XP because its so easy to understand that it needs no explanation.      

   

Best Operating System : Backtrack Linux
BackTrack is a Linux-based penetration testing arsenal that aids security professionals in the ability to perform assessments in a purely native environment dedicated to hacking.
Regardless if you’re making BackTrack your primary operating system, booting from a Live DVD, or using your favourite thumb drive, BackTrack has been customized down to every package, kernel configuration, script and patch s
olely for the purpose of the penetration tester.
BackTrack is intended for all audiences from the most savvy security professionals to early newcomers to the information security field. BackTrack promotes a quick and easy way to find and update the largest database of security tool collection to-date.
Back Track is quite possibly the most comprehensive Linux distribution of security tools. Bothhackers and crackers can appreciate the features of this distribution. For black-hat hackers, it provides an easy access to software that facilitates exploitations for secured systems and other reverse engineering. For white-hatters, it is a penetration tester that finds holes in a security scheme. See, everybody wins!

Major Features of BackTrack Linux

BackTrack features the latest in security penetration software. The current Linux kernel is patched so that special driver installation is unnecessary for attacks. For example, an Atheros-based wireless networking adapter will no enter monitor mode or inject packets without the MadWiFi driver patch. With BackTrack, you don’t need to worry about that. It’s just plug-and-play ready-to-go!

What’s great is that this Linux distribution comes Live-on-CD. So, no installation is needed. However, what you experience BackTrack, you will realize that it is a must to download this operating system and install it on your Laptop. At the very least, download the VMWare Virtual Appliance for Backtrack. Make sure you also install the VMWare Tools for Linux as well. Many features will still work in VMWare mode.
