What is Backtrack 5

Back Track is a distribution based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution aimed at digital forensics and penetration testing use. It was named after backtracking, a search algorithm. In March 2013, the Offensive Security team created a fork of Back Track named Kali Linux.BackTrack is relatively simple to install. We will run Back Track by booting it as a Live DVD and then install it on the hard drive. 

BackTrack provides users with easy access to a comprehensive and large collection of security-related tools ranging from port scanners to Security Audit. Support for Live CD and Live USB functionality allows users to boot BackTrack directly from portable media without requiring installation, though permanent installation to hard disk and network is also an option.

What is Gmail 2-Step Verification.

What is 2-Step Verification?
Most people only have one layer – their password – to protect their account. With 2-Step Verification, if a bad guy hacks through your password layer, he'll still need your phone to get into your account.

Sign in will require something you know and something you have

With 2-Step Verification, you'll protect your account with something you know (your password) and something you have (your phone).

Verification codes made just for you

Codes are uniquely crafted for your account when you need them. They will be sent to your phone via text, voice call, or our mobile app. Each code can only be used once.

Get codes via text message

Google can send verification codes to your cell phone via text message. Your carrier's standard messaging rates may apply.

Want a phone call instead?

Google can call your cell or landline phone with your verification code.

No connection, no problem

The Google Authenticator app for Android, iPhone, or BlackBerry can generate verification codes. It even works when your device has no phone or data connectivity.

Backup phone numbers

Add backup phone numbers so Google has another way to send you verification codes in case your main phone is unavailable.

Backup codes

You can print or download one-time use backup codes for times when your phones are unavailable, such as when you travel.

Register your computers

During sign-in, you can tell us not to ask for a code again on your computer. We'll still ask for codes on other computers.
