About
GnackTrack is a Live (and installable) Linux distibution designed for Penetration Testing and is based on Ubuntu. Although this sounds like BackTrack, it's most certainly not; it's very similar but based on the much loved GNOME!
REMEMBER - GnackTrack is, and always will be, completely free! But, should you feel the need to donate some money please do so at my Charity JustGiving page (I'm climing to everest in November and am raising money for The British Paralympic Association).
For more information and specifics please read the FAQs or send me an email
News
New Dev Environment 25/08/2010
Currently all dev work was being performed on an Intel E4500 with 2GB ram. This has been pretty painful for the team to work on. A new Phenom x6 1055T is on route with 4GB of ram, that should surely speed up the devolopments and built time. There will be a slight delay in getting beta5 out due to the transition over to the new rig but we promise both the LiveCD and VMWare image will be available soon.
Beta5 Virtual Plans 15/08/2010
Hi all. After a huge amount of feedback it has been decided that beta5 LiveCD will now be released alongside a prebuilt vmware image. This will be botable in VMWare based products but it will also include the capability to be used in Virtual Box. Please register to the mailing list to be informed as soon as the beta5 version is released.

Mailing List now ready! 05/08/2010
We have now set up a mailing list in order to announce new versions, releases and special news about GnackTrack. If you would like to subscribe please do so on the the left. We wont use this for spam, just up to date GnackTrack info!
Beta3 Released! 28/07/2010
We're proud to announce that GnackTrack beta3 version is ready. The Gnome menu is now complete. The installer now works perfectly, once installed you get a full environment (the /etc/skel bug is no longer present). To download the latest version please goto the downloads page. Remember, please let us know of any issues you find.
Beta2 Torrent Released 16/07/2010
Due to the overwhelming downloads of the beta2 release we have decided to create a torrent of GnackTrack. The server cannot simply cope with the sheer number of downloads. To get the torrent instead (probably the faster method) then please goto the downloads page.
Community Forum! 14/07/2010
In order to coincide with the beta2 release we have decided to finaly get the community page up and running. You'll now be able to discuss requests and problems with GnackTrack directly with each other to save me having to deal with each issue myself. You do not need to register, just use an exisiting account such as Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Twitter, etc.
Beta2 Released! 13/07/2010
After a long wait I have finally got Beta2 ready. A lot of work has gone into the art so I'd like to persoanlly thank the artist John Smith for all his hard work. To download the latest version please see the downloads page. Remember, please let us know of any issues you find.
Beta1 Released! 26/05/2010
After a little bit of work over the weekend I have now released GnackTrack beta1. I have fixed the annoying address location entry field in nautilus. I hated the way the navigation was with buttons, I like to type the directory I want to go to! I have added a list of apps to the Gnome Menu, this includes services so it's easier to start and stop them. I haven't had a huge amount of time to perform testing so if anyone is available to look into this for me I would be very appreciative. Once again, I'm amazed at all of the Downloads so far, I hope the dedicated server this site is hosted on doesn't fall over! (If anyone starts noticing poor download speeds please let us know and i'll see if I can afford to improve the pipe.)
Alpha3-Beta1 release 23/04/2010
Hi all, I'd like to thank everyone who has given me feedback on the distro. I'm hoping to release a new version after the weekend. Depending on how many references to ubuntu I can remove i'll either call it Aplha3 or Beta1. Please spread the word, the more people that offer feedback and support the more chance we've got at improving the distro. Cheers
Feedback 19/04/2010
Thanks for all the wonderful feedback with regards to the first alpha release. I'm please at the amount of people of have downloaded it and then given the time to offer advise and support. I've taken onboard a few of the requests and will hopefully put them into the 10.04_alpha3 version. For the time being please continue to point out bugs and issues for me to resolve. Also, don't forget to spread the word!
