Backtrack 4 supports the use of the ZTE MF626 out of the box.
While there are plenty of tutorials on how to connect the device, it took me a while to figure out why I could not see the device /dev/ttyUSB0.

When you plug the internet stick into a Windows based operating system, a virtual cd-rom is created. Once the software is installed, inserting the device runs the autorun.exe.
Obviously linux can’t use the system libraries in order to perform the same action, so what you will need to do is eject the cd-rom in linux.
The easiest way in backtrack 4 is to pop open the Konqurer->Storage Devices, hit refresh and you’ll see the cd-rom. Right click and eject.
Now, if you head to your console and type lsusb you will note that you have the correct drivers loaded, and /dev/ttyUSB0 will be available for your choosen modem dialer to use!

Sorry folks – The demand for the backtrack images (especially the old ones… *looks suspicious*) was far too high for my server, and was ruining the availability of my other websites (that actually earn me money).

So for the meantime, I’ve removed the backtrack images. I’ll be keeping the S-T-D and BCCD images up.

I’m currently hosting S-T-D and Backtrack distributions in the mirrors folder. These can be used with my rainbow tables, or for a whole range of fun activity’s.

A few years ago I created some rainbow tables for cracking a particular type of password. I’ve been hosting them for a fair while but now I’ve updated the site I thought I would point towards their location.
You can download the lm_alpha-numeric-symbol14-space1-7_0_4000x46000000 tables by clicking on the Rainbow Tables link. The tables can be used with Backtrack or S-T-D.
