roger_27: BackTrack is a penetration-testing distribution, which is intended for security professionals or hobbyists who want to audit the security of their networks or systems. The colour of your hat is up to you. From glancing at the screenshots, my guess would be that this is a collection of software used by the main BackTrack distribution, customized to work (well) on the N900, and with some sort of mobile-optimized launcher/frontend. If they've actually made a custom Maemo distribution, I'm sure people like Stskeeps would have been involved, and we probably would have heard about it.
EDIT: My guess is that they've built a custom kernel as well, although at least one custom build is already available in -devel.

I know... Tried changing it, but couldn't...

BTW There's an official thread/announcement here... (Created after this one)

And it's an OS, so to use it You would probably install it as a secondary OS (maybe on external memory card) and boot into it...

EDIT -> Look at the NeoPwn website: http://neopwn.com/...:

Neopwn runs on an optimized FULL custom Debian operating system that boots off of a microSD card with a custom Linux kernel, with a vast support range for module drivers, allowing the network security tester the ability to perform various network penetration auditing tasks that are normally carried out on a notebook or desktop workstation.

As you suggest, I have read the thread again. I'm still not sure what you mean though.

It might be the case that an external wifi adapter isn't required (the only clue here is the wait/cough comment), or perhaps someone has figured out how to get USB host mode working.

What is your take on this - please elaborate.

My guess is that they patched the wifi driver (wl12xx) for injection since its based on the mac80211 stack.
