PentestBox is not like other Penetration Testing Distributions which runs on virtual machines.
It is created because more than 50% of penetration testing distributions users
uses windows.[Source]
So it provides an efficient platform for Penetration Testing on windows platform.
Check out demo video of it here.
It is a commandline utility which is all what you want. You can get to know about the commands on tools.pentestbox.com.
It is the same green font on black terminal but in an modern way. I am pretty sure you will like it.
PentestBox directly runs on host machine instead of virtual machines, so performance is obvious.
All the dependencies required by tools are inside PentestBox, so you can even run PentestBox on freshly installed windows without any hassle.
PentestBox is entirely portable, so now you can carry your own Penetration Testing Environment on a USB stick. It will take care of dependencies required to run tools which are inside it.
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 favourite text editor "vim". For complete list, please look at tools.pentestbox.com/#linux-utilities.
Because of this most of the pentesting tools which were earlier compatible only with Linux are working smoothly in PentestBox.
Windows has already large support of drivers for Graphic Card and wireless. So now you don't have to worry about drivers compaitability issues. For Example now you can use your GPU power to crack hashes using Project RainbowCrack which is particularly not compaitable on linux environment.
In the making of PentestBox we have included only the best tools , but in that process we have missed some tools which you might be using .In that case you can easily inlcude that tool in PentestBox or can create a topic in Tool's Request section in forum.pentestbox.com to include that tool in next release.
If you want to include yourself then please follow this guide.
PentestBox runs on host machine without any need for virtual machine. So it only need's 20 MB for launching compared to atleast 2GB of RAM need for running virtual machine distributions.
It is very light on Disk as well, it only acquires less than half of what virtual machine environments do.
PentestBox contains a version of Mozilla Firefox Browser with nearly all security addons. To know the complete list of addons, please click here.
