BackTrack 5 will also be for Motorola Xoom !

Apr 13, 2011
In the past few days offensive-security have been toying with some Motorola hardware, and have managed to get a basic build of BackTrack 5 (+ toolchain) on a Motorola Xoom. The possibilities look exciting as offensive-security are slowly building several experimental arm packages. offensive-security team does not have much experience with the Android OS nor ARM hardware, but so far – so good. offensive-security will not promise an ARM release on May 10th, as this new “experiment” was not planned in any way – but we’ll do our best. As of now, offensive-security have got a modified version of an Ubuntu 10.04 ARM image, chrooted on a Motorola Xoom. The tablet is running a modified, overclockable kernel (from 1.0 to 1.5 GHz). The chrooted BackTrack environment is running a VNC server, from which you can connect from the tablet itself. When run locally from the Xoom tablet, the VNC session does not lag, and the touch keyboard and touchscreen are very workable. As expected from a chr...

Tell us how you did it, Pakistan court to hackers ! Hackers would be granted bail if they taught judges how to do the job, Pakistan's Supreme Court said in a lighter vein as it heard the bail plea of two teenagers who had broken into the Supreme Court website last year. The Supreme Court then granted bail to the two teenagers who are accused of hacking its official website and placing derogatory material about judiciary and the chief justice on it, Dawn reported Tuesday. The bench, comprising Justices Asif Saeed Khan Khosa and Amir Hani Muslim, was headed by Justice Javed Iqbal. The judges said the hackers had done a " brilliant job ". Their counsel Iftikhar Hussain Gilani promptly said they had not hacked the site. To which, the judges asked Gilani why he was not ready to accept praise for the hackers. They then said in a lighter vein they would grant bail on the condition that the accused taught them how to do such a job. The judges, however, observed that i...
