Selecting the tools required during a penetration test depends on several factors such as the type and the depth of the engagement.In general terms, the following tools are mandatory to complete a penetration test with the expected results.Operating Systems.Selecting the operating platforms to use during a penetration test is often critical to the successfully exploitation of a network and associated system.As such it is a requirement to have the ability to use the three major operating systems at one time.This is not possible without virtualization.Smumdax Yes, its a bit risky but so I didnt get those viruses or malware.There were few apps that were buggy and I removed them 120 ratio.Mac. OS XMac. OS X is a BSD derived operating.With standard command shells such as sh, csh, and bash and native network utilities that can be used during a penetration test including telnet, ftp, rpcinfo, snmpwalk, host, and dig it is the system of choice and is the underlying host system for our penetration testing tools.Since this is a hardware platform as well, this makes the selection of specific hardware extremely simple and ensures that all tools will work as designed.VMware Workstation.VMware Workstation is an absolute requirement to allow multiple instances of operating systems easily on a workstation.VMware Workstation is a fully supported commercial package, and offers encryption capabilities and snapshot capabilities that are not available in the free versions available from VMware.Without the ability to encrypt the data collected on a VM confidential information will be at risk, therefore versions that do not support encryption are not to be used.The operating systems listed below should be run as a guest system within VMware.Linux. Linux is the choice of most security consultants.The Linux platform is versatile, and the system kernel provides low level support for leading edge technologies and protocols.All mainstream IP based attack and penetration tools can be built and run under Linux with no problems.For this reason, Back.Track is the platform of choice as it comes with all the tools required to perform a penetration test.Windows XP7. Windows XP7 is required for certain tools to be used.Many commercial tools or Microsoft specific network assessment and penetration tools are available that run cleanly on the platform.Radio Frequency Tools.Frequency Counter.A Frequency Counter should cover from 1.Hz 3 GHz. A good example of a reasonably priced frequency counter is the MFJ 8.Frequency Counter.Frequency Scanner.A scanner is a radio receiver that can automatically tune, or scan, two or more discrete frequencies, stopping when it finds a signal on one of them and then continuing to scan other frequencies when the initial transmission ceases.These are not to be used in Florida, Kentucky, or Minnesota unless you are a person who holds a current amateur radio license issued by the Federal Communications Commission.The required hardware is the Uniden BCD3.T Bearcat Handheld Digital Scanner or PSR 8.GRE Digital trunking scanner.Spectrum Analyzer.A spectrum analyzer is a device used to examine the spectral composition of some electrical, acoustic, or optical waveform.A spectrum analyzer is used to determine whether or not a wireless transmitter is working according to federally defined standards and is used to determine, by direct observation, the bandwidth of a digital or analog signal.A good example of a reasonably priced spectrum analyzer is the Kaltman Creations HF4.RF Spectrum Analyzer.USB adapter. An 8.USB adapter allow for the easy connection of a wireless adapter to the penetration testing system.There are several issues with using something other than the approved USB adapter as not all of them support the required functions.The required hardware is the Alfa AWUS0.NH 5. 00m. W High Gain 8.Wireless USB. External Antennas.External antennas come in a variety of shapes, based upon the usage and with a variety of connectors.All external antennas must have RP SMA connectors that are compatible with the Alfa.Since the Alfa comes with an Omni directional antenna, we need to obtain a directional antenna.The best choice is a panel antenna as it provides the capabilities required in a package that travels well.The required hardware is the L com 2.GHz 1. 4 d. Bi Flat Panel Antenna with RP SMA connector.A good magnetic mount Omni directional antenna such as the L com 2.GHz9. 00 MHz 3 d.Bi Omni Magnetic Mount Antenna with RP SMA Plug Connector is a good choice.USB GPSA GPS is a necessity to properly perform an RF assessment.Without this its simply impossible to determine where and how far RF signals are propagating.There are numerous options are available, therefore you should look to obtain a USB GPS that is supported on operating system that you are using be that Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.Software. The software requirements are based upon the engagement scope, however weve listed some commercial and open source software that could be required to properly conduct a full penetration test.Software.

D. Microsoft lists the 3.Windows 1. 0s next autumn update, a little X marking the end of an era.The app is certainly a relic, from a time when the casual computer user couldnt crack open Photoshop or Skitch or Pixelmator or thousands of web apps.MS Paint cant save image components as layers or vectors its for making flat static images only.It doesnt smooth lines or guess at your best intentions.It does what you tell it and nothing more, faithfully representing the herky jerky motion of drawing freehand with a computer mouse.Its from a time before touch, a time before trackpads.As more sophisticated options appeared, Paints janky aesthetic became a conscious choice.Paint became the metonym for that aesthetic, even if an image was actually created in another app.TV Tropes lists major limitations that came to define a certain look the wobbly freehand lines, awkward color handling, and inappropriate export settings that give Paint its distinctive look.In 2. 01. 4, Gawkers Sam Biddle noted Paints influence on conspiracy theory images, calling the form Chart Brut.In amateur detectives attempts at identifying the Boston Marathon bombers, the simplicity and jaggedness of Paint evokes the crazy wall aesthetic of red string and scribbled notes, apparently without irony.The same year, internet historian Patrick Davison explored Paints influence on the last decade of meme culture, particularly Rage Comics.The outsider art aesthetic feels appropriate to the relatable everyday content, and makes the art form unthreatening.Of course, Paint offered a few features to smooth things out, like the circle and line tools and the fill tool, all used in the stoner comics of the early 1.Crucially, those circles still had jagged curves.The bright colors of stoner comics are flat, as MS Paint didnt support gradients without an elaborate hack.Contrast those pixellated lines with the slick, stylish face from this art tutorial This slickness is built into Paints successor, Paint 3.D. From the moment you start sketching, Paint 3.D smooths out your art.It also supports automatic selection tools and content aware fill to rival Photoshops.By automatically improving art, Paint 3.D hides the process behind the image.Paints sloppiness is probably why rage comics got so popular.Looking at a rage comic, you can tell exactly how it was drawn, and how you might draw one yourself.By delivering exactly what the artist draws, MS Paint forms an image that the viewer can mentally reverse engineer and imitate.Unless you go absolutely nuts with it.Reddit user Toweringhorizon painstakingly assembled the drawing To a Little Radio using MS Paint tools like the oil brush, stretching the medium while maintaining a pixelated look.Its one of the top submissions to MS Paint subreddit, a beautiful collaborative art gallery. Child S Play Video Manual Handling And Lifting . Scrolling through this art feels like flipping through the sketchbook of the most artistic kid in high school.Theres an accepted roughness, a desired minimalism.For example, the exquisite raindrops in the work above are reflected in a flat, featureless tabletop.Like a transistor radio, Paint might be showing its age, but this tenacious little gadget should not be underestimated.To a Little Radio doesnt even come close to testing Paints limits.As we say goodbye to the app that shaped an era, let us watch this bizarrely soundtracked time lapse of drawing Santa Claus in MS Paint on Windows 7 over the course of 5.We can only believe this is real because faking it would be even harder.
