In this tutorial, I will teach you how to configure your wireless network connection in a BackTrack 5 virtual machine. To configure the network, I am using the wicd network manager, which comes pre-installed with your BackTrack 5 bundle.\r \r If you want to learn how to configure a wired or bridged internet connection in BackTrack 5, refer to my tutorial:\r \r How To: Configure a Wired Network Connection in BackTrack 5\r \r \r Ive been getting lots of questions about wireless network adapters and virtualization software. \r \r For virtualization software, I recommend: \r \r - VMware Fusion 5 ($50)\r \r \r - Parallels Workstation ($57)\r \r \r - VirtualBox (Free)\r \r \r For an external USB network adapter, I highly recommend:\r \r - Alfa AWUS036NHA\r \r The Alfa network adapter is good for everything. it supports monitor mode, packet injection, fake AP broadcasting, and a lot more. Its good for cracking WEP and WPA encryption, packet sniffing, wardriving, man-in-the-middle attacks, fake AP attacks, and more.
