Most likely it will be NX or VNC protocol<br />
And nowadays backtrack is renamed to kali linux (and rebased from knoppix to ubuntu)
</div>


<div>
Linux isn't windows and it doesn't use RDP. As mentioned above, Backtrack has changed to Kali Linux. So if you want something current, I suggest you change to kali.<br />
<br />
What you can use to connect remotely is SSH, but you'll first have to install that.<br />
<br />
apt-get install ssh<br />
<br />
And then you also need to start it<br />
<br />
service ssh start<br />
<br />
after that you can connect to it using kitty from a Windows PC (the port used by SSH is 22, so that is what you'll need to forward in your firewall).<br />

Rindi/Ghesist,<br />
<br />
I took your suggestion and loaded Kali Linux. What I need is to be able to remotely be able to view and move the mouse. I can't do that with SSH.<br />
I don't mind using VNC. How would I load VNC onto Kali Linux?
</div>


<div>
run &quot;startgnome&quot; in a ssh session and you get full kale desktop on your Xming.
</div>


<div>
I downloaded VNC-5.2.2-Linux-x64-DEB.ta<wbr />r and placed it within root/Downloads<br />
<br />
How do I install this?
</div>


<div>
this is tough. woudln't work even when I do this:<br />
<br />
apt-get update<br />
apt-get dist-upgrade<br />
apt-get install vnc4server<br />
vncserver<br />
<br />
<br />
Get a message:<br />
Please set correct fontPath in the vncserver script.<br />
Couldn't start Xtightvnc process.
</div>


<div>
Ad I already mentioned, use SSH, and on your windows PC xming, then connect via kitty to a terminal. From the terminal you can also start GUI programs. This is much faster and more secure than VNC is.
