Firstly welcome!<br><br>Secondly, I haven't used it since it was based on SLAX but I don't suppose it's an entirely different beast.<br>The best way to get information I suppose would be to use the 'man' command - say you wanted to see what flags nmap has to offer you could hit up "man nmap", simple as that! If you're wanting more verbose details, say you want to know what the tools is doing or if you're even using the wrong one then google will have a trove on the backtrack tools - there sure is a high interest in security 'testing' ;)<br>
<br>Not one to pry but have you considered a more mainstream distribution for using for programming and (I assume you are hosting) hosting a mySQL install? If someone does gain access to your system you've set them up for hackers galore!<br>

<p>I'm new to this Linux user group. Have been using Linux since 2003 and am quite handy round a Linux system. I currently use backtrack linux on both my computers, it has lots of things for breaking into networks. I use it mainly for programming and running mysql. Has anyone else used that particular distro? Does anyone else know how to use the offensive security tools? I can't use them as it's a standalone machine and I can't afford broadband yet. </p>
