After a long wait, the definitive penetration testing livecd, Backtrack, has reached the final version and is released to the public.  BT3 offers some tools new to the BT arsenal such as SAINT and Maltego. 

SAINT has provided BT3 with a working version but you do have to request an IP range license with SAINT which is valid for 1 year (get 10.0.0.0/8 that ip range will work with any other range). 

Paterva has provided BT3 with a special version of Montego with a community license especially for Backtrack users.  Montego is a network inventory application with alot of nice features.  Paterva has usage guides and videos on their website to check out.

Unfortunately,  Tenable would not allow distribution of Nessus on Backtrack 3.  This is unfortunate as Nessus is an essential part of any pentester's arsenal.  Fortunately, Backtrack now comes in 3 flavors, livecd, USB, and VMWare.  For the USB and VMWare versions, you can install Nessus on your own and have it there.  I wish there was an open alternative to Nessus though, it seems like its always becoming more and more restricted.  Then again, we do now have SAINT but I'll have to see if its restricted in any way by having been modified for distribution with Backtrack.

Great job, Backtrack Team.  I'll be giving BT3 a looksee over the next few days and I'll give it a more thorough review once I'm more familiar with it.
