VMware workstation is not exactly cheap although there is a free version, but anyone who has used torrent or other P2P utilities know that getting things such as this is easy. There is a 30 day free trial for VMware workstation if you want to check it out. VMware player is the best bet because it is free and will run Backtrack. It does not have all the options of VMware workstation but does work.The download for the newest Backtrack 5 installs and so can be found here -5-download . Install VMware first then add the Backtrack VMware image software into it. One thing to mention is that a built in wireless adapter will not work with VMware and Backtrack, a Backtrack wireless USB adapter will have to be bought which is why I have been reviewing Backtrack compatible USB adapters in other post.
Backtrack Linux Download Vmware Player
I'm trying to install VMWare player on Kali. I have the bundles downloaded and installed. Everything it updated, etc, and I have run these commands. sudo apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r), sudo apt-get install build-essential, sudo apt get install open-vm-tools
After extracting the folder, open it. You will find multiple files there, however, you just need to click and open only the VMX extension file, here in our case it is kali-linux-2021.1-vmware-amd64.vmx. 2ff7e9595c
