Bugfix release announcement

& Donation request

We just like to mention two more things today.



First the good one: We are currently working on a bugfix realease for backtrack and its dvd release.



Now the bad one: We may ask the community to donate to our projects please,
we have to buy stuff and finance our costs by ourselves and the amount of donation money
we get per release is not traveling slowly to about 100-150US$.
I think this is rather lousy if you know that we have a multiple of 10'000 people downloading that CD every release.
Don't be a sucker and start donate.go here for paypal donations :

please i think if each of us donate 1$(or more), that could be the best way to give something in return of backtrack team works.......for the future of backtrack........

THX in advance for them........

[azonov27]

Any ETA on this? Any news?
Thanks in advance

[shamanvirtuel]

not for the moment but i think as core dev of bt3 officialy begun in last days that we will don't have to wait too much time for BT2BUGFIX reliz

follow this forum, mutts will anounce things here....or on the irc....

[Dr_GrEeN]

I would love to donate a little but don't use paypal is there any other way I can donate????. I think the work you guys have put into this needs to be rewarded! :D It won't be alot like $40 or sumthing but I am in between jobs at the moment.

[shamanvirtuel]

with 40 $ you won't be ridiculous........

believe me... have you read this from RE website : ??

i just can't believe it when i discovered that....... backtrack is rated everywhere as the first security oriented linux distrubutions, and the crew collect only this .... JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING FOR BT3 AND THAT THEY ARE NOT PAID FOR IT..........

WHAT A PITY......... shame on us........ i know not everyone can give 100 $ but i think we can all afford 1$ :rolleyes: ......in between only forum members we should beat easily this ridiculous sum....

i really can't understand how is it even possible ............:mad:

[tybalt]

I would be more then happy to make a donation. That is if there is another method of doing so other then PayPal. Feel free to IM me if this is a possibilty

[Dr_GrEeN]

Do you know what, If I was them guys and donations kept as slow as that I would start charging. I think it really takes the piss that I know dudes that earn $100 an hour using the backtrack CD and can't even spare like anything.

Like I said I will donate, I will borrow a friends paypaland donate the weekend when I get paid. And I hope I start a trend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! :D

[kurt_kabayan]

i cant use paypal or credit card from here

[circuithead64]

I don't mean to insult anyone but is there any place i can mail a donation?who's name shall i put on the money order? i can spare 50 bucks every couple of months.......... i know that sounds dumber than paypal but maybe it hasn't occurred to anyone that the reason donations are slow is that people might hestitate to put their personal credentials on the net to send money to a bunch of pen-testers .....like i said no offense intended but i don't think the majority of the world is going to put their faith in people who find ways to break in to computers......well i could get one of those pre-paid credit cards i suppose........i am sure if we put our heads together we can come up with a way for people to donate without feeling terribly exposed......or maybe charge , not too much mind you, maybe 50 bucks a year to join ........that would kind of ruin the whole open collaboration thing but ......ideas??

So you're basically equating pen-testers and the authors of this product with criminals?

I don't think there's any way you could have made that statement without offending.

[pureh@te]

Email muts and explain your situation. I'm sure your not the only one and I bet he has a solution.

yeah man i knew i could not getaway without offending but i tried.......i use BT and i love it ......maybe one day in the future i will be good enough to consider myself a professional, so if it makes you feel better then i would like to be equated with criminals one day too.......the ethical kind mind you .......:D

anyhow i don't have a paypal account and i'd hate to have to remember one more password.........i will email as suggested.

[mummysboy]

Thanks!!

BTW..Its not the size of the donation..but the size of your heart that does matter. It is much appreciated. ;) Thank you mummysboy. :)

[Dr_GrEeN]

Any news on how the donations are coming along? Have they picked up since ? Tell me to mind my own f'n business if you like :D

[shamanvirtuel]

we really don't know, because we don't have so much frquent contacts with the crew as they are really busy... but i know some of us have give something and i want to thank them.

will try to get more info asap.

[katmai]

i donated as well, 50 bucks, i know it's not much. i got no reply e-mail, but i'm not looking for thanks either. this is a great project, and many people should consider donating and donating. we need to make the developers time worth it though :)

[MonkeyPoo]

hey guys good news! im about to go donate too! so keep it up! hey as a suggestion, we cant charge for linux, so maby as a motivator, they guys can finish the BT3, and ancounce it, make a little youtube video or something with it in action, and start a donation drive. when we hit a goal, like i dont know $500 or something they open the download publicly! that way, with the thousands of users we have, as they get desperate to finally use the new version, they will be more willing to donate! now that i stop to think about it, it sounds like a hostage situtation ahah but it wil work! anywas just a suggestion...
