Well friends,
Today we will see that how to install Google Chromium Browser in Backtrack 5,
So as we know that Google Chrome is one of the best browser ever made,Google also made a chrome like flavour for linux OS which called Chromium Browser
it has many features and most safe browser ever,

well Chrome can be installed on Windows without any problem :D but the situation get worse when a hacker or a pentester or a linux distros lover's tries to install it on Backtrack or other distros.
So let's start step by step that how to install Chromium on a distro which is in my case Backtrack 5 R3
So let's do it ;)

1) first of all open terminal and download Google Chromium archive by this command.

root@bt:~# apt-get install chromium-browser

2) After completion of download you can see Chromium on Application=>Internet=>Chromium Web Browser so let's open it ^_^


Well that's the main problem we actually get :D so how to solve this it's easy
open terminal and type

root@bt:~# cd /usr/lib/chromium-browser

3) Now type

root@bt:/usr/lib/chromium-browser# hexedit chromium-browser

something like this will be popup on the terminal



Don't worry now we just need to change the value of a specific id. :D

4) Now the most important step Press the tab button and then ctrl+s to be in the search mode then type "geteuid" and replace it with "getppid" and don't hit enter -_- press ctrl+x and it will prompt you to save changes or not just press "Y"

Voila now open the Chromium and check if it's opening or not :D

Enjoy your Chrome browser on Backtrack :D
