Awesome Speed ! Awesome Power !Now we all know that Backtrack 2.0 /3.0 is out and a lot of you might have evenyou’re yourhands dirty on that.EVERY Black Hat , Grey Hat , or White Hatcan bid bye to Microsoft. No need to run an OS with ahundred buggy programs running in the background, and all the lame
firewalls
that still slapadware/rootkits and all kind of malware that infects , while allowing users to be unknowinglybombarderd by megabytes of useless
commercial
crap .Backtrack today is one of
preffered
operating systems used by hackers all around the worlddue to the hacker ready interface, built in
library
of greatest tools, be it your favourite trafficsniffer Wireshark, or port scanner Nmap. Last but not the least the philosophy behind a OpenSource Software is
dear
to a the hacker- the quest for the freedom.Yeah we all know, the Linux is free , Linux prevents Viruses, blah blah. But that’s not thecompelling reason . The power offered is the real thing that makes it a
million
times betterthan the MS would be. That’s the
way
computers should be

Backtrack is the best of two worlds: it caters to the needs of both the
experienced
(Greyhat | Black Hat ) user that wants a powerful and reliable desktop operating system, usablewithout constant fiddling, a godsent distro for the
plethora
of new users that are preparedto move from proprietry boundations to freedom- from Windows to Linux.

BackTrack , I again insist is
the easiest
method around to get free access to 100s of assortedtools around, if the
Linux
part doesn't scare you. For the
script-kiddie
fond of working on
Windows
box, Backtrack won’t be much trouble too. They can get up and running usingBackTrack with little or no Linux knowledge. The KDE GUI is simply
amazing
. For instance,setting up
Snort
is a one-click process (try that outside of BackTrack you’ll know).Password hacking process also works like breeze in BackTrack.
