Im a Script Kiddie and I can do everything SILICA can do using BackTrack. $2,500 for wireless pen testing or all-round pen testing. Get serious, I thought this video was a joke.

Honestly,
1) Darren does a good job with interviews as he usually can find a balance between who his audience is.
2) 10+ min on WEP lol) what year is it?
3) It is “Backtrack” not “backtracks” and currently can do all this w/ GUI.
4) The tool aimed at in-house IT right? Sounded like it. If the market exists they can sell it. Selling it at Defcon, well that is just funny.
5) I think Darren was just a bit like “I have to interview him and it is my job…but man…you never heard of the pineapple.

@ransi1234 Nowhere.
February 9th, 2012 at 8:34 pm
where can i get i pirated version of this software???
February 9th, 2012 at 8:53 pm
@Yahnthepyroman Then why doesnt BSD programs work on a mac?
February 9th, 2012 at 9:06 pm
@00011theman why not? it’s basically bsd with a nice gui.
February 9th, 2012 at 9:22 pm
Your not a hacker if your using a Mac…
February 9th, 2012 at 10:20 pm
So its an open source project that costs money? Alot of money?… ok then.
February 9th, 2012 at 10:33 pm
@tehpr0lol big companies who want their testing teams to run the software on their systems. A good GUI means less training time/costs, so is appealing to executives
February 9th, 2012 at 10:44 pm
Any torrents for it?
February 9th, 2012 at 11:13 pm
what kind of kevin mitnick is going to pay $2500 for that?
noobs these days man…
February 9th, 2012 at 11:35 pm
Yea, cause the best business models for pentesters is to make it so a retarded monkey can run a GUI..Its because most people are too stupid to actually use the tools that are out there…
February 9th, 2012 at 11:48 pm
thats awsome its like a hackers dream
February 9th, 2012 at 11:59 pm
Macbook air ?

This argument about BT vs Silica is stupid, If your business is PEN testing or security testing $2500 is not much money to spend on a tool designed to make doing the job easier. Does that mean BT or Silica are worse than the other? No. If I can spend a little money to make my job easier and faster and increase revenue far more than the tool cost me I will buy it.
February 10th, 2012 at 1:08 am
I have been on penetration tests in corporate environments where they specifically ban backtracks from use on their networks (although I’m not sure exactly why). Silica is a professional product that is only sold to professionals. Silica will quickly demonstrate the insecurities of wireless networks and the clients that are associated to that network. Silica is a good choice when you need to do something quickly and efficiently and focus on that task at hand.
February 10th, 2012 at 1:52 am
@Robbi159 If you go through the comments you will find most of the BT fans having something negative to say. My “use silica over BT” comment was basically in response to someone saying “why use this shit when you have free stuff”. So I was just defending silica because it does things that BT can’t. BT is a learning tool – this is true and I totally agree with you. But a company is not going to hire you to do a pen test if you are still learning.
February 10th, 2012 at 2:32 am
@wifijunky Me? Bad attitude? I reply to you the way you are speaking to us
Also I dont see anywhere I am saying bad things about Silica, other than that its overpriced. Its YOU who is speaking badly about BT and I honestly cant see why one has to be the superior one. BT can do multiple things and is free while Silica can do 1 thing and is not free. If you honestly cant see why 95% of people with the will to learn will go for BT you were dropped as a child.
February 10th, 2012 at 3:16 am
@Robbi159 I didn’t say that I didn’t know how to use BT – I said it wastes my time. BT doesn’t do everything I need but SILICA does. And thanks for helping me prove my point about why BT support is such a joke – it’s people like you with bad attitudes telling people they “fail” because they have an opinion and do things differently. LOL $2500 is not a lot of money to pay for an excellent utility. Just because I have the means to make my job easier doesn’t make me any less capable.
February 10th, 2012 at 3:22 am
@wifijunky Lol someones bitter at not knowing how to learn on BackTrack, and I have found the community with BackTrack to be friendly, and I’m pretty new to it so I had to ask a few questions like most people and I got good answers. Plus I found tons of tutorials. Also why would you pay 2500$ for something that specifies in 1 thing but you have BackTrack which is free and does a lot of things, and it does them very well.
You my sir, fail.
February 10th, 2012 at 3:42 am
Lol @ $2500, nobodies going to pay that. Can someone link me to a pirated version please?
February 10th, 2012 at 4:32 am
@ConteValkone lol.. already seen that..
February 10th, 2012 at 5:26 am
Why use silica instead of backtracks? I’ll tell you why:
1) BT has only been updated 5 times since 2006. silica updates all the time.
2) you waste a lot of time with BT.
3) no support at all with BT (unless you count forums with guys like you all letting everyone know how cool you are and make fun of everyone for asking questions
4) exploits in silica are COMMERCIAL which means MONEY WAS SPENT to make them BETTER
5) silica masters wifi test space. BT tries to master everything (and fails).
February 10th, 2012 at 6:21 am
@ConteValkone So you’re saying that I don’t know what I’m doing because I like to automate things? LOL You’re so ignorant and close minded. So according to your logic I only “know what I’m doing” if I choose to waste my time? Wow. Why don’t you post your phone number here so that I can call you the next time backtracks breaks or doesn’t have a feature I need, lol. Corporations pay for support and updates – they don’t choose “free” for many reasons. silica has great support and updates.
February 10th, 2012 at 6:57 am
why use this expensive shit when you got backtrack and armitage ???
February 10th, 2012 at 7:17 am
ty for the vid. i was wondering if the c.e. was worth it, i think ill stick with the regular one.
February 10th, 2012 at 7:56 am
box says vendor is exclusive to ce, ty.
February 10th, 2012 at 8:44 am
You don’t need to buy the security key. You can get the app if you have a phone that will run it…
February 10th, 2012 at 8:54 am
I bought the keyring Security Key. Yes the vendor is cool and the best thing sold is the Fleet passes you can purchase. I don’t think you get game time when you buy the Security Key. I couldn’t find any info stating such, but if so it is definately worth it.
February 10th, 2012 at 9:00 am
I bought the wristband and u cant acces the CE vendor u can oly acces the one that sells the mount
February 10th, 2012 at 9:58 am

February 10th, 2012 at 10:30 am
God damn it, why can’t I find a republic one of these?
February 10th, 2012 at 10:53 am
So that is what you spent your subscribers credit.
February 10th, 2012 at 11:31 am
Thumbs up if SWTOR was best game of 2011!!
February 10th, 2012 at 12:20 pm
But it is a VIP area
February 10th, 2012 at 12:32 pm
There is no VIP vendor you just have to buy a security key
February 10th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
Swtor is amazing. Zybak, is this enough to take you away from wow?
February 10th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
RED!!!!!
February 10th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
I really wish if you buy that thing for 1 million credits to access those stores it would work for all your accounts, because it seems really hard to earn 1 million credits
February 10th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
@Ludercrs they made an app for android. i have a HTC amaze and i have an auth on my account
February 10th, 2012 at 2:20 pm
they have authenticator for iphone but not for Droids
you’d think Star Wars and Droid go hand in hand…
February 10th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
@lifeward21 16-19. (must do story)
February 10th, 2012 at 3:59 pm
This was an interesting video until Infamous wrote a flammable comment in the guild chat and you lost me after that; Amped’s “We’re all brothers” comment made me /facepalm and, like any good soap, had me wanting more from the next episode.
I like drama.
February 10th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
@iiPassive The decline of wow started in my opinion with the removal of twinking it kinda reminded me of runescape dropping wilderness removing an element of the game most people like and adds a good gold sink and another thing to do when not raiding or pvping at level cap is always a bad idea. Cata cemented the decline with poor design such as purposely inflated gear stats mainly health devistating pvp and not enough zones. Five levels was a mistake maybe pandaria will prove that.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
Future Zybak sent me.
February 10th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
we are all brothers
