2Neon has created a great video (see above вЂ“ set it to 720 HD for clarity) and an instructional write up on his blog. There is some minor setup on BacktrackвЂ™s side and some settings you need to set in Putty to make it all work right. If you want to use X (Graphical) programs, then you will need an x based server for Windows, вЂњXmingвЂќ works great. This will give you the ability to use a remote Linux text terminal.

Think of it as Remote Desktop for Linux.ДЄll you need is Backtrack 5 вЂ“ even works great in a Virtual Machine, your Windows system and Putty. Putty is a slick little Windows based client that lets you SSH into you Linux system and operate it just like you are sitting in front of it. SSH is a secure network protocol that you can use to connect to your Linux box remotely.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Putty and SSH (Secure Shell).

Backtrack tutorial install#

You can install latest Ubuntu that can run on UEFI with SecureBoot (not sure it's easy) and enjoy all of the tools from Backtrack repositories.Have you ever been watching one of VivekвЂ™s amazing tutorials on Security Tube (Very recommended by the way рџ™‚ ) and wondered how in the world he is accessing his Backtrack Linux system from a Windows box?

Do not try to install Backtrack 5 if don't know what GRUB is.

Erase your usb flash drive and write Backtrack image to it again, but with UnetBootIn.

I can recommend a few things that might help: I would not give lot of hopes to that because Backtrack 5 is based on Ubuntu 10.04 which is way too old - earliest Ubuntu supporting UEFI is 12.04.

You have written your install image correctly, but that image is not capable to run on UEFI - see discussion here.ДЄnyway 100% way to make Backtrack like most of current Linux distros to work on UEFI is to turn UEFI to legacy mode (BIOS), though you have to unninstall Windows 8 -).

You have written your install image incorrectly and UEFI is not recognizing it.

It might be several things causing your problem with common denominator - UEFI: If you can't see GRUB menu then you are unable to enter bootloader on your USB drive. Ok, after some discussion in question comments I suspect that the problem is in your install image.

If you can give me a solution, stupendous.Д®dit: it says 'checking media' and then 'failed' If anyone can diagnose me with a problem, awesome. I have successfully run backtrack from the VM thingy that linuxlive has with all of the usb stuff, and It works fine, but it is really slow, as I have too many windows processes running at the same time. I tried researching a solution to the problem, none of which worked. I will put in an edit that will contain a picture and the exact text.) then after 2 seconds, it says failed, and then launches windows. If I hit enter when usb is selected, it takes me to a black screen that says two words (something like checking usb, but I forgot. and then at the bottom is two more options, one taking you to the menu that you can also access by pressing f2 durring startup.

after each one, there is a little bit of text. When I put my usb into my computer, hold f12, and power it on, it takes me to the boot menu, where it gives me 4 options to boot from. I used Linuxlive usb creator and backtrack 5 r3 gnome 32 bit. I have a lexar 4 gigabyte usb flashdrive. I have a Toshiba satellite c885d running windows 8.1. First off, sorry for my english, it is not very good.
