Title: What are the main differences between Backtrack 3 and Backtrack 4?
Post by: H1t M0nk3y on February 20, 2010, 01:11:35 PM

Hi,

Would some of you know the main differences between these two releases? I have searched on their web site and on google, wikipedia, etc but I just can't find my answer.

I know they went from Slackware to Ubuntu, but other than that, what is new?

Thanks

With this release includes a new kernel, a larger and expanded toolset repository, custom tools that you can only find on BackTrack, and more importantly, fixes to all (well, most..) major bugs that we knew of.

Thanks, I looked at the forum instead at the blog...

But they didn't seem to make too many changes other than updating all tools and changing the base linux distro.

But thanks, I got my answers.
