PentestBox - Portable Penetration Testing Distribution for Windows

PentestBox is an opensource preconfigured portable penetration testing environment for the Windows operating system.

PentestBox is not like any other Linux pen-testing distribution which either runs in a virtual machine or on a dual boot environment. It essentially provides all the security tools as a software package and lets you run them natively on Windows. This effectively eliminates the requirement of virtual machines or dual-boot environments on windows.

Features:

Easy to Use - It is a simple command line utility.

Simple Design - The traditional green on black terminal comes with a modern twist.

Performance - PentestBox runs directly on host machines instead of relying on virtual machines, bringing obvious upgrades in performance.

No Dependencies Required - All the dependencies required by tools are inside PentestBox, so you can even run PentestBox on freshly installed windows without any hassle.

Portable - PentestBox is entirely portable, so now you can carry your own Penetration Testing Environment on a USB stick. It will take care of all dependencies and configuration required to run tools.

Linux Utilities - PentestBox contains nearly all Linux utilities like bash, cat, chmod, curl, git, gzip, ls, mv, ps, ssh, sh, uname and others. It even contains your favorite text editor "vim".

No Drivers Issue - Windows already has a large support of drivers for graphics cards and wireless systems, so now you won't have to worry about driver compatibility issues. For example- now you could use your GPU power to crack hashes using project RainbowCrack, which is not compatible in an environment like Linux.

Modular - You can use toolsmanager to install/update/Uninstall tools which are not already there in PentestBox.

Less Memory Usage - PentestBox runs on the host machine without any need for a virtual machine. So it only need's 20 MB for launching compared to at least 2GB of RAM need for running virtual machine distributions.

Less Disk Usage - It is very light on the Disk as well, it requires less than a third of what linux pentesting distro does.

Inbuilt Browser - PentestBox contains a version of Mozilla Firefox Browser with nearly all its security addons.

Update Feature - It contains an update feature through which you can keep your tools updated.

Can be shared on Network - Consider an environment where you wanted to use PentestBox on many computers at the office, lab, etc. Instead of installing PentestBox on each and every computer, you can just install it on one computer and share that folder as a drive to the other computers on the same network.

32 Bit system supported - Most users aren't concerned about 32-bit support because they normally use 64 bit systems. But this was introduced to turn low-end systems into a Pentesting Environment.

There are two variants of PentestBox, one without Metasploit and the other one with Metasploit.

Note: Antiviruses and Firewalls need to be switched off to install and operate the version with Metasploit.

By default installer extract to C:/PentestBox/, and for its proper functioning do not make any changes.

Here is the list of tools in the PentestBox:

Yasuo - Yasuo is a ruby script that scans for vulnerable 3rd-party web applications. While working on a network security assessment (internal, external, redteam gigs etc.), we often come across vulnerable 3rd-party web applications or web front-ends that allow us to compromise the remote server by exploiting publicly known vulnerabilities. Some of the common & favorite applications are Apache Tomcat administrative interface, JBoss jmx-console, Hudson Jenkins and so on.

Zaproxy - The OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy to use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in web applications.

Nmap - Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source (license) utility for network discovery and security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X. In addition to the classic command-line Nmap executable, the Nmap suite includes an advanced GUI and results viewer (Zenmap), a flexible data transfer, redirection, and debugging tool (Ncat), a utility for comparing scan results (Ndiff), and a packet generation and response analysis tool (Nping).

Sublist3r also gathers subdomains using Netcraft and DNSdumpster.

Subbrute - SubBrute is a community-driven project with the goal of creating the fastest, and most accurate subdomain enumeration tool. Some of the magic behind SubBrute is that it uses open resolvers as a kind of proxy to circumvent DNS rate-limiting. This design also provides a layer of anonymity, as SubBrute does not send traffic directly to the target's name servers.

Tekdefense-Automater - Automater is a URL/Domain, IP Address, and Md5 Hash OSINT tool aimed at making the analysis process easier for intrusion Analysts. Given a target (URL, IP, or HASH) or a file full of targets Automater will return relevant results from sources like the following: IPvoid.com, Robtex.com, Fortiguard.com, unshorten.me, Urlvoid.com, Labs.alienvault.com, ThreatExpert, VxVault, and VirusTotal.

Patator - Patator was written out of frustration from using Hydra, Medusa, Ncrack, Metasploit modules and Nmap NSE scripts for password guessing attacks. I opted for a different approach in order to not create yet another brute-forcing tool and avoid repeating the same shortcomings. Patator is a multi-threaded tool written in Python, that strives to be more reliable and flexible than his fellow predecessors.

RainbowCrack - RainbowCrack is a general propose implementation of Philippe Oechslin’s faster time-memory trade-off technique. It crack hashes with rainbow tables.RainbowCrack uses time-memory tradeoff algorithm to crack hashes. It differs from brute force hash crackers.A brute force hash cracker generate all possible plaintexts and compute the corresponding hashes on the fly, then compare the hashes with the hash to be cracked. Once a match is found, the plaintext is found. If all possible plaintexts are tested and no match is found, the plaintext is not found. With this type of hash cracking, all intermediate computation results are discarded.
