The Security Zealot

Yesterday during the PaulDotCom.com Web Cast, the developers of the world renown BackTrack announced the release of the Final Release of Version 3.

According to Mut’s Blog, some of the new features of BT3 include:

Saint
SAINT has provided BackTrack users with a functional version of SAINT, pending a free request for an IP range license through the SAINT website, valid for 1 year.

Maltego
The guys over at Paterva have created a special version of Maltego v2.0 with a community license especially for BackTrack users. We would like to thank Paterva for co-operating with us and allowing us to feature this amazing tool in BackTrack

Other features include:

• PwnSauce Instant John the Ripper Cluster feature (USB version)
• Updated Metasploit Exploit framework and dependencies

Maybe Max and Mut should try to make their own version of Guiness Book of World Records for downloads for a security tool?
