Most of you by now have heard of BackTrack, the highly popular and regarded Linux Security Distro for ethical hackers. Straight from the project's developers come this teaser video. With several examples of what the new version can do and a running time of 6:16, we hope to have you on the edge of your seat in anticipation.

Especially nice are the demos of the new features highlighting Offensive Security's Wireless Security Course, BackTrack WiFu, designed for penetration testers and security enthusiasts who need to learn to implement various active and passive Wireless (802.11 2.4 GHz) attacks. The course is based on the Wireless Attack Suite - Aircrack-ng. This is the second offering of an eventual triumvirate of classes to be offered by OffSec. The first is Offensive Security 101, followed by WiFu and then the eagerly awaited BackTrack to the Max. Should be a very educational 2008!
