Backtrack users only have one option when it comes to logging in and that's the root account, this saves typing sudo every time you want to run a privileged command but has it's down sides to.

some applications refuse to run on a root account TOR being one of them you open it up and get a snotty error message stating you shouldn't run as root this is dangerous blah blah.....

There is a way around this however download the TOR browser bundle from here and extract to wherever you like.

Browse to the extracted folder and open up "start-tor-browser.sh" in a text editor Kwrite,nano etc. and find the line:
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then around line 110 if my memory serves....

There are two ways to proceed now (either way make sure the file is backed up)

either change if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then to if [ "`id -u`" -eq 1 ]; then
or delete that entire if block, this has been known to cause some issues but worked in my case. save the file and you will now be able to run as root.

Got it    thanks to xzid and techb for the help he finished code is :



# Guess your number
# Player thinks of a number between 1 and 100 and the computer tries to guess it
# r33per 9/4/12




print "Think of a number between 1 and 100."
print "And I will try to guess it."


import random


tries = 0
guess = ""
high = 100
low = 1
while guess != "c":
    number = random.randrange(low, high)
    print "I think of: ", number
    guess = raw_input("[h]iger, [l]ower, [c]orrect: ")
    if guess == "h":
        low = number +1
        tries += 1
    if guess == "l":
        high = number -1
        tries += 1
   
print "I got it in ", tries, "go's!"


raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")




+1 kind sir I have already written a game where the computer thinks of a number and the player guesses, but then i thought I'd challenge myself by trying to reverse it, but it seems I've bitten off more then I can chew will play around with the code and see if i can get it working not all that confident on len() just yet so will re read that been a good learning exercise so far though

http://www.routerpasswords.com/

Has a list of user name/passwords for the admin page for a variety of routers. Always worth a try as some people are that stupid 

I know it is possible to run a duel boot under android to allow Ubuntu Linux to run on the phone it's a pain in the ass but could be a way around will see if I can find the link to the tutorial. All of which is useless if the hardware doesn't support packet injection and of course there's the issue of very limited space for tools...

Thank you for that intro it's left me with a lot of reading material to gather and as a noob it has given me a valuable in site to what I'm getting myself into will be eagerly awaiting updates.
