Backtrack is a LiveCD distribution, as well as an installable one, that compiles a complete range of utilities to audit various systems. Although it is well known for being prepared for auditing Wi-Fi networks, it is more interesting to review the rest of the tools it offers us to work with all technologies. Taking advantage of the fact that Backtrack 5 R1 has just been published, I present to you the Mexican Organization of Ethical Hackers that has published a simple course to get started in understanding this tool, very basic, but useful for those who want to enter this world.
