A few weeks back the team over at BackBox Linux released version 3 of their security aimed Linux distribution. I was excited because it is a solid system based on Ubuntu with all the essential infosec tools anyone could need already installed. I quickly downloaded it and ran the installer in a virtual machine to give it a go. To my disappointment, there was no simple way to do full disk encryption like newer versions of Ubuntu. This is pretty much a deal breaker these days but luckily the nice gents over there allow you to add their PPA to your Ubuntu based distro, here is how:
Ubuntu Precise
You can update your system by adding ppa:backbox/three to your system's software sources.
Step 1 - Open a terminal and enter:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:backbox/three
Your system will now fetch the PPA's key. This enables your Ubuntu system to verify that the packages in the PPA have not been interfered with since they were built.
Step 2 - Now, as a one-off, you should tell your system to pull down the latest list of software from each archive it knows about, including the PPA you just added:
sudo apt-get update
Now you're ready to start installing software!
Other systems
This PPA also can be added to your system manually by copying the lines below and adding them to your system's software sources.
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/backbox/three/ubuntu precise main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/backbox/three/ubuntu precise main
Step 1 - Open a terminal and type:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
This will open a text editor containing the list of archives that your system is currently using. Scroll to the bottom of the file and paste the lines you copied in the step above. Save the file and exit the text editor.
Step 2 - Now you need to add that key to your system so Ubuntu can verify the packages from the PPA. In your terminal, enter:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 78A7ABE1
This will now pull down the PPA's key and add it to your system.
Step 3 - Now, as a one-off, you should tell your system to pull down the latest list of software from each archive it knows about, including the PPA you just added:
sudo apt-get update
Now you're ready to start installing software!
Install the BackBox tools with the following gigantic command (copy and poste here):

By the way, if you break your stuff, you're on your own. This worked for me running Ubuntu 13.04.
