I use an old lap­top with­out USB con­troller and onboard LAN to cap­ture some pack­ets. I cap­tured about 30Mb of data, but the lap­top was just too slow to crack the cap­tured data. So I thought easy, I send the data via ser­ial line… I guess I was wrong, because backtrack2 does not include a zmo­dem, xmo­dem or ymo­dem tool, only the ascii-xfr.

I found on this web­site, which con­tains a zmo­dem source. I down­loaded it and copied via floppy (yeah!) to the lap­top. Backtrack2 includes also the gcc tool­chain, so it was easy to build the binaries.

The next Step was fire­ing up Mini­com and change the pro­to­col set­tings (con­fig­ure Mini­com / File trans­fer pro­to­cols, U use: ./lrz –vv –b as para­me­ter). On the Win­dows Client start Hyper­t­erm and receive the file – end of story!
