Ciao e benvenuto! Il creatore di dischi di ubuntu (ma non solo, anche di mint per esempio) è risaputo che con certe versioni dia problemi, quindi la mossa che giustamente hai fatto di usare unetbootin è adeguata, per il resto non ho capito se vuoi fare un'installazione permanente su usb o vuoi usare una usb per poi installare bbox sul tuo hd, hai controllato l'md5? è intel o amd? hai provato a ccontrollare che le impostazioni siano adeguate? hai googolato per vedere se c'è qualcosa di simile in giro? quale è la schermata iniziale del bios (il mio è diverso dal tuo :/ ) ??  Si possiamo aiutarti ma devi essere più preciso!!! =)
Bella!!

Salve a tutti sono un nuovo iscritto, spero di aver postato nella sezione giusta
Questo è il problema: ho provato a installare backbox su una pennetta usb nuova con unetbootin ma quando riavvio il pc con la chiavetta inserita il bios si blocca sulla schermata iniziale. Lo stesso risultato anche su un altro pc. Ho provato a cambiare la priorità del boot e ad usare il creatore di dischi di avvio di ubuntu ma niente...  Ho un 64 bit ed ho provato sia la versione a 64 che a 32 ma non vuole partire
Potete aiutarimi? Grazie!

Near the end. Suggestions? Link for missing books?

I'd suggest the second one "Penetration Tester Open Source Toolkit 3rd"....
it is pretty complete and well explained....I won't suggest to waste your time for others...
be my guest!

I finished reading it now: vague, imprecise and bad organized.
Too many arguments for a single book.
Vote: 5.

After a fresh install of Backbox and update/dist-upgrade everything working fine.

fixed, please verify and confirm!

thx

I confirm. Fixed.

No Tech Hacking: A Guide to Social Engineering, Dumpster Diving, and Shoulder Surfing by Johnny Long

Low Tech Hacking: Street Smarts for Security Professionals [Paperback]
Jack Wiles

"In the age of extreme technology, the defenders have made Low Tech a low priority, concentrating more on the common high tech solutions intended to protect organizations. But attackers are resurrecting the art of Low Tech Hacking. The techniques discussed in this book are given new life because they allow attackers to strike at the weakest links: human and physical. This book is the right tool to bring the Low Tech back into focus."--Greg Miles, Ph.D., CISSP, CISA, Principal at Peak Security, Inc. "Low Tech Hacking is perfect for waking people up to the dangers that lurk on the Internet and especially in their physical environment. All chapters are littered with helpful tips and warnings, which more often then not include the authors' 'war stories' as illustrative examples. And even though the book has been written by five different authors, they all do a great job at keeping the explanations and examples clear and concise, and at making us think for ourselves and consider things we never marked before. In short, I would effectively recommend this book to everyone."--Net-Security.org
