One thing I can’t stand is waiting on software to download.  I mean, I have a blazingly fast internet connection and I expect everything I do to be blazingly fast also.  So, one thing I noticed was my backbox linux installation was taking forever to download updates.  Looking into why, I noticed there were static addresses used in the /etc/apt/sources.list for ubuntu software repositories.

So here is how to fix it so that you always get the mirror closest to you:

I had a few virtualboxes running centos 5.7 that I hadn’t updated in a while.  They were used for testing.  Today I went to update them and couldn’t because the 5.7 repo’s had been deprecated and were not longer available.  I found a quick way to do this, and this got my virtualboxes updated to 5.8……which is what I needed anyways.

So on my backtrack installation and also on my gentoo laptop with the same directory structure, I keep everything up to date that is in subversion or similar using a script.  Here is the script…..

By the way, I don’t have the identical toolset as backtrack.  I have added a lot of things, and I generally try to get the subversion versions of them if possible.  The easiest way to find what software or applications you have in the /pentest directory is to do a scan for .svn folder.  If it exists, you can add that application to this script.
