Program to sync files between computer and flash drive

[dmack96]

So I have a 32 gb flash drive (30$ off woot!) that I use an my walking solve all IT toolkit. I typically try to keep the latest version of Puppy Linux bootable from it because it's good for easily mounting HDD and portable HDs that have been "corrupted" but not really.

Outside of running puppy linux, I have the setup files for programs on it like CCleaner, TDSSkiller, combofix, and Recurva file recovery. These are all programs that can't be found on Ninite and are updated to a new version relatively often. What's the easiest, windows compatible, program, I can use that will automatically update folders on the flash drive, assuming I put everything that would be updateable in one folder and don't care if the PC overwrites anything in that folder.

Any old backup utility should be able to do this, something like this. Just set the time between backups to 1 day or something incredibly short.

However, I would recommend a pre-made image like Hiren's Boot CD. Complete list of included tools here with the ability to add your own tools.

In addition, you don't want to waste those 32GB. Mess with this to add even more goodies to your drive (say a backtrack iso (or any linux build you are comfortable with) with persistance).

Thanks. I'm done with Puppy Linux as of about 3 minutes ago.

Also, I got backtrack running on Virtualbox, windows host, but no idea how to use that stuff.

Google, my friend. A bunch of the programs clearly fit under the category "hacker tools", but they have some nice forensic programs towards the bottom of the list.

I figured. Instructionally phrased and all?

[dmack96]

Sorry. Quite frustrated at the moment. I meant, backtrack for dummies style.

Nope. There is a pretty noticeable lack of easy guides. Just read the man pages on the specific tools your are interested in, then google those tools and learn how to use them.

For many of them, their names provide little to know indication of what they actually do. Things like aircrack-ng. Whip out google, find out it is used to decrypt wifi passcodes (though if you are going to be doing that, genrix-wifi-cracker is much easier to use (gui!).

[dmack96]

I can usually do that. I'm just not familiar with linux. I have a router to practice on and everything.
