Offensive Security Releases Backtrack 5 R1

On August 18, Offensive Security released BackTrack 5 R1. This release contains over 120 bug fixes, 30 new tools and 70 tool updates. They plan to roll out new how-to's on their website's wiki in the coming weeks.  Topics to be covered include VMware tool installation, alternate compat-wireless setups, etc.

The kernel was updated to 2.6.39.4 and includes the relevant injection patches.

As with Backtrack 5, choices exist for either the GNOME or KDE GUI, and include both 32- and 64-bit versions.  A VMware image is available in 32-bit GNOME only.

Download available directly from SCADAhacker.com using the Tools section, or through the normal Offensive Security website.
