Ethical hackers have access to new helpful program

Ethical hackers now have access to hundreds of legal hacking tools though the release of BackTrack Version 3.0.

BackTrack is a Linux-based distribution and contains 300 of the most popular open source or freely distributed hacking tools, according to Computer World.

Version 3.0 is apparently "about as Windows-friendly as you get" and offers those that want to improve their hacking skills the chance to do so without any prior Linux knowledge.

Wannabe hackers will be able to progress and move through programs and interfaces with a few mouse clicks thanks to the graphical user interface of the program, which also is highly capable of wireless and password hacking.

Computer World adds that the software is for the good guys, as bad hackers fail to require these super-easy toolkits to gain the personal details of others.

It is hoped that by more people become familiar with the hacking process more people will be able to defend their computers from hackers and online threats.
