<h2>So what is GnackTrack?</h2>
                        <p>GnackTrack is a penetration testing distribution for Gnome fans.
For those not in the know, a penetration tester is an ethical hacker.</p>
                        <p>Many of us have heard of <a href="http://www.backtrack-lunux.org/" target="_blank">BackTrack</a> but just struggle to get on with <a href="http://http//www.kde.org//" target="_blank">KDE</a>. Many people prefer <a href="http://www.gnome.org/" target="_blank">Gnome</a>
based linux distributions and thus GnackTrack was born. Originally
GnackTrack was created by adding Gnome on top of BackTrack and stripping
the KDE parts but this proved to be extremely painful OUCH!!! There was
a lot of "junk" left over so it was decided to build a gnome based
penetration cd from the ground up.</p>
                        <p>With <a href="http://www.ubuntu.org/" target="_blank">Ubuntu</a>
being one of the most popular distributions it made sense to base
GnackTrack on that, especially because the 10.04LTS had a long support
life.</p>
                        <p>What to call it???? Well, being as we wanted to base this on
BackTrack it made sense to call it GnackTrack. It's just stuck. This
distro also uses the BackTrack repo's so it's only fair to pay respect
to the <a href="http://www.remote-exploit.org/" target="_blank">RemoteExploit</a> guys for all they're hard work.</p>
                        <p>Remember the spelling: it's not nactrack, gnactrack, nattrac, gnaktrak, nacktrack... get it right! It's GnackTrack!</p><p><a href="http://www.gnacktrack.co.uk/">http://www.gnacktrack.co.uk/</a></p><p><br></p>
