[ANNOUNCEMENT]: Wiki Update Project

[PrairieFire]

For those that do not feel they can contribute but have questions, comments or ideas, use the Discussion page of each article, as I see it is rarely used.

This was very rude as I have a lot to contribute in the metasploit field I just dont post working exploits on these forums due to the fact that any one could use them for illeagle activities.

Prez the only reason I said somthing is because the pages on the wiki are for version 2 the versions on the bt cd are 2.7 and 3. Im not saying its not use ful information Im saying that the exploit content in the tutorials is not supported anymore under the newer frame works. Im only saying that we should be up to date but oh well Ill stay out of this since prarie fire feels I have nothing to contribute. Rather snobby

That was not directed towards you, I am talking about people that lurk the forums and feel they can not contribute when in reality they can. For instance, in the past few days look at all the unregistered people updating the wiki.

I just think we should be up to date

oh no prob. I thought the info was still relevant. I'll repost the newest info.

If anything I'm putting up there people don't like or you feel there is newer info somewhere else please point it out, I'll change it.

I just want to give back since I've asked for help in the past

That was probably me. Half of my updates were done unregistered. I flip back and forth from my windows box to my linux machine. I should probably log in there as well.

I am the XX.92 bandit LOL

Tonight I'll try and:

1) finish up the rest of the software summaries
2) Add tutorials for each and every software that comes with BT.
3) Find as many video tutorials as I can and put a video tutorial link right on the front page under howto's

Gotta get 15 posts before I can quote web sources in my how to.

I noticed a few pages of the wiki have had many items deleted by no-name editors. I was going to revert them back but wanted to ask first to see if it was Mods doing it.

Anyone know who did this and why?

I had to revert the tools page because 75% of them disappeared. Feel free to revert back to the last known good version.
