Backtrack is backbone of hackers. If you don't use it

campaign, i have told you that we will be using

Backtrack as our secondary OS i.e. virtual machine for performing advance hacking techniques. Most of

people faced problem in installing Backtrack 5 r3. Today, i will guide you how to install Backtrack

Operating system on Virtual Box or any other Virtual

machine. Let's start...



Basic things before beginning installation:



1. Virtual Box

2. Backtrack Linux OS ISO image or DVD Now lets learn stepwise,



how to install Backtrack Linux on Virtual Box:



1. First of all open the Virtual Box by clicking on Virtual box icon ( will come after installing virtual box).

2. Now for first time we need to create Virtual

Machine (Virtual Operating system on which we will

install Backtrack).

To do so Click on New button then a pop up will open. In Name fill anyname that you wish to give to your virtual Machine say Hackingloops. Select Type as Linux and Version as Other Linux. Sample is shown below:

anything between 1 GB to 3 GB. Say i allocated 3 GB

(Maximum for 32 Bit).



Then click on Next Button as highlighted. Now Proceed as shown in snapshots.



As shown above click on Create :



Select VDI (Virtual Disk Image) and Click on Next.



Now select Dynamically Allocated as shown above.



Now assign the Virtual Hard Disk size as shown

above, 20GB will be Good for optimization. Now When you click on Create Virtual Machine will be created as shown Below.



To enable internet over the Virtual Machine, we need

to configure the Network as shown below :



After doing network settings, we need to assign

Backtrack ISO image to VM's Disk drive to begin the

setup on starting the setup. To assign Backtrack ISO to VM's Disk drive, do the settings as shown below:
