Backtrack 5 tools in Ubuntu 12.04

[relax]

another little note about backtrack
there is solutions on the internet on how to do this
the only problem is that they are not working/throw errors
so this is the way not to get errors and to get it working
first off we do like all the tutorials say and add the repository to our sources.list

Code: [Select]

cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list <<eof
deb http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing
deb http://source.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing
deb http://64.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing
eof
after that we need the gpg key

Code: [Select]

wget -q http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org/backtrack.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
this is how far the solutions on the net has made it. and its good but in ubuntu 11.10 and above this throws a error

W: Failed to fetch http://64.repository.backtrack-linux.org/dists/revolution/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

so this is how you get rid of it
first you need to backup your apt

Code: [Select]

apt-get install --reinstall -d aptafter that download apt_0.7.25.3ubuntu9.13_amd64 thats the version that is on backtrack 5 r3
install it

Code: [Select]

dpkg -i apt_0.7.25.3ubuntu9.13_amd64.deb

and the last step increase Cache-Limit

Code: [Select]

echo APT::Cache-Limit "60000000"; >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/apt.conf
apt-get update

and its on

I tried to install it on Ubuntu 12.10 x32 and i got this

Code: [Select]

W: Failed to fetch http://64.repository.backtrack-linux.org/dists/revolution/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-i386/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The solution was to replace 64 by 32

Code: [Select]

Fetched 1 394kB in 4s (339kB/s)                               
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. Current value: 25165824. (man 5 apt.conf)
E: Error occurred while processing gtk-led-askpass (NewFileDesc2)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/32.repository.backtrack-linux.org_dists_revolution_main_binary-i386_Packages
W: Unable to munmap
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
The solution was to add this

Code: [Select]

APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";
to

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf

Next typing this code on terminal

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
That's it

I say no. You are better of manually downloading the tools and actually investigate the working of each one according to your needs

Agreed. It seems to me that there are so many tools on Backtrack that I haven't really heard of. I bet alot of them do basically the same thing. My arch system has a bunch of tools downloaded that I have cleanly organized into my obmenu.

I think it's much more elegant.
