Beaglebone + Backtrack 5 ARM

Anyone tried putting the Backtrack 5 ARM image on a bone? Can you say PwnBone! :slight_smile: This would make a sweet little Pentest platform…

I am gonna give it a whirl now. Ill keep anyone who actually cares on this group posted…

I haven't tried it on the bone, but I do have Ubuntu with all the fun
stuff running on the BeagleBoard xM.

Did you run into a lot of driver related issues at all?

I would be interested in this... I'm giving a presentation on the Bone at the local hackerspace next month... This would be a great tidbit of info... and even a demo if it's easy enough to do.. :wink:

My BeagleBoard project is not at the top of the queue at the moment
(hopefully in the next couple of weeks). So far no real major issues.

I am very very interested in this project, i currently thought about
doing this very thing on an airborne helicopter with a beaglebone
running backtrack for various wardriving / pentesting purposes.
i ordered my beaglebone, i plan on powering it with

it says it can power any usb device, have yet to get my beagle and
test. if anyone has used this id love a confirm / denial of its
function to power the bone. it can charge my phone 4 times, which
would give a tiny backtrack platform hours of use.

both are very small and would fit on the drone. the drone is the AR
Drone, it puts out its own wifi and is android/ios controlled,
backtrack would connect to the drones AP and then i would SSH into bt

I will try and update the list as this project progresses. It is on
hold for a couple weeks as I prepare for 4 presentations that I'm
giving over the next 6 weeks on a different topic (USB Flash drive
forensics and security). The BeagleBoard/Bone project is related to
something I hope to present in London in the fall.

I’m interested! How’d BT5 fair on the Beaglebone?

probably decently I have run it on my overo, just to see if it could be done. No issues, though their arm distro is not the same as their standard, they note lots of patches and what not were not put in as it was just to see if they could do it. I have been writing recipes for OE to build needed tools, if anyone else has recipes for sec tools that are up to date I would be interested in seeing them. I will soon be posting my layer for anyone interested just need to make sure I have properly set it up before having other's delve in.

I have entire set of bt5 pentest tools running on my bb-xm. I was able to pwn a win7 machine using a recent java vulnerability (cve-2012-0507) using an up to date metasploit with no issues. I am running ubuntu 11.10 not bt5.

same here only I run Angstrom so as to not loose NEON :wink: I saw your pwn info was pretty cool, I use my BB-XM and overo in drones for autonomous pentesting :slight_smile:

U willing to share an image so others can test? I’d be willing to be a beta tester for ya…

I should probably be able to share in a month or so. I have a little
clean up work to do first. This may be released under the banner of a
pre-existing Linux version not yet on ARM. I also am doing some
additional work to make the device more useful from certain forensic
tasks.

Care to share the kernel patches you are using related to wireless? Just want to see if I caught all the ones I need. I am running 3.0.25 kernel

What additional work? Is it things you can share patches of for those not using buntu? Or is more like program's you are writing?

If you are on Angstrom I get share a repo if few people want to run pentest tools with angstrom.

I haven't gotten to testing the wireless yet. I have been doing the
work with a wired connection so far.

I am working to modify the install to create drivers and udev rules to
work with the forensic addons that I am in the process of developing.
I am not using any kernel patches, just the generic kernel from
ubuntu.com.

Good stuff, wireless for me needed tweaking of the usual injection patches and speed patches for me to get it to build on Angstrom.

Good luck with your work look forward to seeing what you develop
