Ubuntu – how to install gerix on ubuntu 12.04 using backtrack repositories

12.04installationrepositorysoftware-sources

I got instructions from here, and I found several sites with similar instructions but somethig is wrong with the repositories on 12.04. This should work for 11.10 and previous versions.

Any ideas how to install backtrack repos and some back track apps on 12.04?

I read about downloading the .deb package for gerix and manually making the same folder structure that gerix uses on backtrack, then manually run the python script, but this way didn't work for me either.

How can I get gerix installed and working on my Ubuntu 12.04 system?

  1. Open the terminal under Ubuntu 12.10/12.04/11.10 or older and run the following commands to add the BackTrack repository:

    wget -q http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org/backtrack.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

  2. To check if the repository is added correctly, you can try to install this BackTrack package:

    sudo apt-get install backtrack-wallpapers

    Or you can search BackTrack applications from Ubuntu Software Center.

  3. Last step is install Gerix:

    sudo apt-get install gerix-wifi-cracker-ng

  4. Don't forget run gerix as root.

    sudo /usr/share/gerix-wifi-cracker-ng/gerix.py

    Have fun using Gerix.

I tested this steps with success on 12.04 64bit.
