Hi mr Lokesh. Does these for Mac or Windows user?
What basic knowledge you think we should already know for BHE?
My bandwidth is low .I can,t download all softwares with 30 KBPS.
Plz tell me about the ettercap trick in detail {http://www.hackingloops.com/2009/07/getting-max-internet-speed-using-arp.html}
Plz mail me at chandaktolu19@gmail.com
when tutorial will start......
Do we need to install all of this on our machine or on VMware?
do we need to have all installing servers or any 1 of them
thank you very much sir, its always pleasure to have such people...HACKING LOOPS
when i opened the Vmware website i saw so many things to download...i just wanted to know what exactly we need to download
1st step is OK-installation of the above software
what next?
Do we need all installing servers listed above or any one of them
waiting eagerly :-)
@All
Thanks for response.
Yes you need to install all of these servers as few are necessary for Linux hosted websites and few are for windows hosted websites. Its doesn't matter which operating system you use as we are going to use VMware for using windows, Backtrack and Matruix OS.
If you have any other issues, feel free to ask.
Note: All above tools are free-ware except Microsoft Visual studio. You can avoid using that but believe me it is one of the best tools if you wanna debug any website or application.

Hi mr Lokesh. Do we need to download backtrack and matruix both or either one?. Here im downloaded backtrack 5 R3 in VMware image. As u said it need to be mounted rather than boot with cd or drive. Am I correct sir?
thnx alot sir :)
i have downloaded all of em,, but need to ask that what is the timming of class and how can i join the class? i am doing BSCS first semester.. fond ov learning hacking... please help me accomplish my goal... looking to a kind response.
please answer the above questions thanks . . . !
Hey sir Please let us know how to install these softwares
Installing VMware isnt tough but installing Backtrack and matrik is bit complex using VMware so please help us with those stuffs
And from Today our classes starts SO All the best for You Sir
+You Know Me
I have one question?! Can you explain little bit closely about virtual machine. What program goes to VM (BT and Matriux) or we must install all programs under VM.
Thank you for all!
Backtrack which version should i download please help R3 or R2 or R1
Sir Please tell us the exact versions which we guys have to download. I had been through the links and found many problems about the versions which i have to download please tell us about the versions it will be easy for begginers like me
Thanks so much. Waiting to fire on...
Hi to all,
like everyone i've few doubts
but for the doubts mentioned in comments by various people, i'll give my answers, correct me if i'm wrong
1. you can either install backtrack or matriux *(or both if you want to experiment)
2. regarding the virtual machines, lokesh sir already given the download links for them, so download any one of it, i'll advice you to go for vmware player(if you want vmware workstation then download from torrent)*
3. after installing the vmware player, just mount the backtrack.iso*(can be latest like backtrack gnome r3) and create a virutal machine, while installation of backtrack, it'll ask for the command to start the installation process, so just type "startx" , that's it, everything is "next, next, next....."
after the completion of the installation, you've to enter the username and password when it promts.
username: root
password: toor
these are default, that's it
backtrack installation in vmware is done;
my doubts follows;
1. as you can see "mysql benchserver" is not an application but server, so is that we've to copy to the backtrack or matriux?
2.just xml spy is enough or we need to download any extra packages?
3. IDA PRO, sir provided the link and i downloaded but only few of them are apps, remaining are just src files, something to be copied to backtrack i suppose? or *(really need help here)
4. ollydbg, any extra packages to be downloaded or just the application?
please help, i did almost everything but stuck with the above mentioned doubts,
thank you
Are you aware of today's date sir and also about your commitment to start class on dec 1st ?
When do the classes start its already 2nd of december sir
@Naveen and Anonymous
Due to some technical difficulties we are unable to start classes from 1 Dec.
We will be starting it from 6 Dec, 2012.
Regards,
Lokesh Singh
6th December mhmm... Sabhar ka phal meetha hota hey :)
Sir or users please tell me which version of backtrack should i download ??
as given in this link (http://www.backtrack-linux.org/downloads/)By ADMIN LOKESH SINGH i see many versions such as Backtrack 5 R3 and GNOME or KDE ?? please help
Okay :) 6 will do :) Thank you anyway.
@R3 is good version but what i have said above is that Backtrack Live DVD.
R3 , GNOME and KDE are full versions.
Regards,
Lokesh
Meaning here.. backtrack should boot up from dvd?
What about backtrack with VMware image sir?
Thanks a lot mr.lokesh singh i am waiting eagerly to welcome 6th December as your day i mean lets celebrate it as a hackingloops's day :D
6th of December thats today, what time (India)? Thank you Lokesh Singh.
Goodday all, when I am extracting this "Ollydbg" after download from the mentioned site
http://www.ollydbg.de/download.htm, it keeps breaking. Any solution to this?
Thanks
Hoping the class is not started and I am left out. If started, where is the link and at what time. Lokesh Singh hope you are doing well?
wen will it starts??????????
sir today is 6 dec na??:(
Sir
When we'll starting???
Waiting
Sir
When we'll starting???
Waiting
Be patience guyz..
Take your time sir... We hope to get start as possible.
is that started??anybody pls reply
guys i hope he is just fooling around to get traffic thats it , because on time commitment is more important for even a piece of work also... its not the question of patience @mzech ok , if your really working on it then try to respond first .
@Naveen
Thanks for informing me... :P There are still few glitches in the projects that i have made for practical sessions because its still in development phase. So keep your calm.
I will inform everybody atleast 3 days before when we are going to begin class. But for sure we will start them before Christmas.
If people don't have patience then they can't learn anything. So be patient.
Also its for Naveen : Bro i hope u have some misconceptions. If it was for traffic then there must be some ads on website. I have 0 monetary earning from this website. And for your kind information Hackingloops regularly(daily) gets 10000+ daily visitors with above 20000+ page views regularly. So i don't need traffic.
yes i understood bro but dont ever give wrong commitments thats my hint to you , and being on time process is a healthy way to achieve anything bro . To be frank , guys are keen interested to start the class on dec 6th but i can understand the difficulties of setting the online environment but others want to know the exact delayed reason behind this so i just poked you thats it bro :p anyway all the best...
you carry on sir, we are waiting for you
you carry on sir,we are waiting for you

Hi Lokesh,
Could you please clear few doubts about the installation of the required softwares?
Doubt1-->Do we need to install backtrack on VMware or to a flash drive/Live CD?
Doubt2-->If we need to install backtrack on a live cd or pendrive then which os we need to install on the vmware?
sir can you give a download link of Microsoft visual studio and how can i determine if it has a xml spy?? plz sir i cant find it.
Lokesh sir i got stuck in installing backtrack 5 GNOME R3 on vmplayer here:
installation asks me to check one out of two options:
where do you want to put backtrack live:
1) Erase and use the entire disk
2) specify partions manually(advanced)
i have just 2 Local disk drives C and D. C contains window and D contain Recovery
i am confused what option should i have to check.

Hi All,
To all those who are facing trouble in installing backtrack..kindly follow the link below. It contains step by step instructions with snapshots.
http://www.wiztechie.com/2011/09/how-to-install-backtrack-5-r1-in-vmware-step-by-step-guide/
Note:-If you find somestep missing then kindly use the generic step of installation of any windows.
Waqas Haider>>Kindly partition using advance mode and set a partition size manually ie.20GB...Dont check any option which says to erase any disk...VM will create a logical drive after taking the free space from you harddisk..
Let me know if u need further information.
To all the guys who are not having patience and what to try something...Kindly install the backtrack and try to get ur handson on the same.
Google Metasploit Penetration Testing cookbook by Abhinav Singh...Having some good recipes for the starter...Beware it takes a lot of time to explore and apply the recipes and not all will work as we expected.
So have patience and try to do some rnd.
Happy learning guys..>
Finally, I want to thank's Lokesh for all his efforts in creating these books and looking fwd to attend his session..Take your time and let me know if I can be of any help.
