I scanned my home machine (windows vista) with Nmap, after disabling the firewall and all ports came back with the status as unknown (No Open Ports). Why no ports are showing as open?
I want to identify all the computers on my LAN that have port 80 open. So I want to scan an IP range (192.168.0-255.0-255) and have Nmap print onto the screen all the IPaddresses it scanned that are accepting connections on port 80. How do I do this?

I'm working on a tutorial using Backtrack 4 Live USB, and I would like to take a screencast of what I'm doing (not just screenshots)So far I have tried these application with limited success:-recordmydesktop -xvidcap -wink -istanbul -vlc -vnc2flvEach time I try the resulting files are generally choppy (at best 1 frame per second) and most don't even end up with a clear view of the screen each time.
i am noob to backtrack i have tplink wireless usb adapter TL-WN722N and i want to install its driver on backtrack 3 plz help me and give reply fast with full tutorial of installing driver.thank full to you. you can also send tutorial to my personal mail.
Trying to boot backtack 4 and I am running into issues. There are a few different options to boot from. And this happens with whichever option I choose.
Other live distros work. I have tried 2 different isos and 4 different dvds. And the live boot works when I try it in virtualbox. Per a google search I turned plug and play os on and off in the bios. Haven't tried much else.
I have just started using backtrack. I an a fresher into this field. In one of the assignment, I am giving command make stack.c in which it gives me the error makefile:l: *** missing separator. Stop.
I am new to linux and backtrack 4 and I didn't have a hard time installing it but my question is that I cant see my wireless adapter at all even in vmware settings. I am using Vmware player, backtrack 4, Gateway netbook LT2030u and my wireless adapter is Atheros AR5B95.
I'm trying to uninstall backtrack 4 and put windows xp on my hard drive. I bought the hard drive clean and immediately put backtrack on it I've never dual booted with windows. I kept getting the no-apic timer error when I stuck in my windows xp boot disk and booted from the CD. I then used my live backtrack 4 disk and deleted the partition so I have a blank hard drive (so I thought). I tried booting from the windows recovery disk and I kept getting the GRUB error 22.
I went back onto the backtrack 4 live cd and created a partition on my hard drive, tried to boot to the windows recovery disk yet again and now I'm getting the GRUB error 15. I've been at this for about 2 hours now and haven't found an answer anywhere. I've tried going sudo grub then doing find/boot/grub/stage1 and I get the error 15 in there as well. All I want to do is install windows. All solutions I've seen say to do fixmbr in windows command line but the only disk I can boot to is backtrack 4 so that's not an option.
So i have decided to start with backtrack as my first linux operating system. i have the live cd, it works just fine (tested with vmware) i have several options as to how to boot in, I choose my option but it just goes to a black screen unless i select boot using ram. I have 4gb memory, 500 gb hard drive, 2.5 ultimate core dual processor.
In what started as a quest to get free wifi, I have recently gotten in way over my head. After unsuccesfully trying to use a virtual drive, I decided to erase my HDD on my laptop completely, wiping out my Windows XP and installed Backtrack 4 in it's place.
My goal amongst others, was to create a 20% partition for Backtrack and run XP on the rest of it. Well, I couldn't figure out how to do it. My only option was format and install backtrack.
So now I'm typing on my iPhone cuz I know absolutely nothing about Linux or how it works. My computer has no Internet. It doesn't recognize my Ethernet NIC, my wireless card and probably alot of other stuff.
SO ANYWAYS I don't want to give up. I'm ready to learn. I guess the first order of business is to get my Ethernet Card working so I don't have to type on this damn phone. So how do I do it?
i want to make apermanent change in backtrack ( i upgrade the msf as command , msfupgrade but after this , if i reboot the VM all changed loose , what can i do for make changes permanent

I cannot configure my network adapter in backtrack. I just downloaded backtrack 4 and the network adapter a Realtek PCIe FE family controller seem not to be working.
I have just installed Backtrack 5 and I don't know how to install the flash player! I have tried to install the package flasplayer-nonfree, I have tried to install from source (I found on the net that he plugin directory for firefox was ~./usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins and I moved the libflashplayer.so there). I have restarted firefox both times, but nothing, it still asks me to install the flash player, what can I do!
I would consider myself an advanced user of Windows. I know some of the commands used due to my knowledge of PHP. I would like tri-booting Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, BackTrack 4 and Ubuntu Server 10.10 64 bit. Windows 7 is the main OS involved, which is on a HDD with about 800GB free space, so space isn't a problem. I have BT4 and Ubuntu ISOs downloaded and on DVDs ready to install.
Do I create partitions first in Windows or do I let the installer do it? What sizes would you recommend? What size for the swap partition?
What order should I install the two OS'? I already tried installing both of them, (Ubuntu first then BT4) but BT4 did not show up in grub when booting, even after updating grub through Ubuntu. I also think I make a mistake when installing Ubuntu as I didn't install any packages. I would like to use the gnome desktop environment on Ubuntu but every time I tried to install the package I got the error "package not found". So then I deleted both OS' and restored the MBR.
I'm using a 3G USB modem to connect to the internet. Will both of these distros work with it?
I have installed Backtrack 4 on my Laptop, I would like to learn the security tools in this distribution. I could not find much materials in Backtrack Official site. how could I explore the available tools and their uses in Backtrack distribution.
Iam working op my HP pavilion G60-DX .. I just installed VMware workstation and run Backtrack 3 ISO image as a linux virtual machine. loading the linux operating system up with "other linux 2.6.x kernell" as a setting, and starting the backtrack 3 virtual machine, everything is fine up to this point. when in the shell-konsole when typing at bt - # "airomn-ng" there is no: Interface Chipset Driver
I can access the internet and use browsers normaly from the backtrack it self , when its running .. how u can explain that to me .. VM cant se my wirless and tald me that there is no wireless interface while am already can open any website within ... what is the best solution to that! does the problem with my laptopb compatibility with backtrack !!! or with the VM itself
I have installed a "backtrack 4" in order to test the the wireless network security of my router. how and which commands would be needed. Also, do I need to install airodump into the host?
I'm triple booting Windows 7 32-bit (that's the only version I had), Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, and Backtrack 4 R1.
Windows 7 installed and runs fine. Ubuntu installed and runs fine. I try to install Backtrack 4 R1, create a / partition, create a /boot partition (do I need to create a /boot for Backtrack?), and I don't create a swap file because the Ubuntu swap file is already in there.
I click "forward", the install starts up, then I get "The attempt to mount a file system with type swap...yadda yadda yadda...has failed." I google this, I get some results talking about an mkswap command, but in my noobness, I don't understand.
Can Ubuntu 64 bit and Backtrack not share a swap file? I don't want to create 2 swap files because I've googled around and that looks like a bad thing to do.
I am facing a problem while installing backtrack 4.0 on my virtual box. After assigning a hard drive and booting from the live cd, i am receiving a error message as follows:
Loading, please wait... Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 76636 (this statement gets repeated like four times with different logical block id. SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x5bb337b9 SQUASHFS error: unable to read is index table.
It is not the first time i install operating systems on virtual box though it is the first time i receive such an error with backtrack.
