Installing GoolagScan using wine for Backtrack4

Posted Fri, 08/28/2009 - 23:17 by flo

While researching some googledorks, i spent some time to get cDc's Goolag running with Wine.

Goolag Scanner is an automated "Google hacking" application.  Google hacking is a form of Web site auditing that takes advantage of "dorks," or extended search queries, that look for very specific kinds of data. The home of all dorks is http://johnny.ihackstuff.com/ghdb/.

I used Backtrack 4 for my tests, but any Debian or Ubuntu Release running >= Wine 1.1.28 (devel snapshot) should be fine. Start with the Wine installation first. I wrote some installation instructions how to install newer Wine versions for Backtrack 4.

Installation

1.) Download Dan Kegels winetricks

# wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

The latest winetricks can also be found at http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/winetricks should Dan's link lag behind a few versions.

2.) Run the winetricks script

* set windows version to Windows 2000
* install at least Version 2.0 of the .net Framwork

3.) Download Goolag (tested with version 1.0.0.41)

http://www.goolag.org/download.html

4.) run the Installer with wine

# wine GoolagScanner_1.0.41.exe

The setup tools will look a little weird and will probably crash after installation. Don't bother, Goolag will run just fine. Either from the shell, or called from the newly created desktop shortcut.

Sometimes a picture says more than 1000 words.

Have fun with !

bleeding edge wine for backtrack4

Posted Fri, 08/28/2009 - 22:25 by flo

While testing some crappy windows software with Wine, i realized the version included in Backtrack 4 (Wine 1.0.1) is not working for me. Thanks to the new Backtrack 4 Debian core (Ubuntu 8.10 / intrepid), this can be fixed easily. In case you've been living under a rock - Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows.

What i wanted was a more recent Wine version for my Backtrack installation. Winehq lists Wine 1.1.28 as latest development release. For some reason, the official winehq repositories are offline. But luckily, the Wine Ubuntu Team provides a separate repository for intrepid.

Warning:The packages here are beta packages. This means they will periodically suffer from regressions, and as a result an update may break functionality in Wine. If the latest stable release of Wine (currently Wine 1.0.1) works for you, then you may not want to use these beta packages.

Installation

1.) Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

2.) Add the following key to your keyring (verify!):
# sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys F9CB8DB0

3.) Update your package cache
# sudo apt-get update

4.) Install Wine packages
# sudo apt-get install wine

Have fun!
