PTES Technical Guidelines The Penetration Testing Execution Standard. This section is designed to be the PTES technical guidelines that help define certain procedures to follow during a penetration test. Something to be aware of is that these are only baseline methods that have been used in the industry. They will need to be continuously updated and changed upon by the community as well as within your own standard. Guidelines are just that, something to drive you in a direction and help during certain scenarios, but not an all encompassing set of instructions on how to perform a penetration test. Think outside of the box. Tools Required. 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. InternetTCP. This section is designed to be the PTES technical guidelines that help define certain procedures to follow during a penetration test. Something to be aware of is that. 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.

Issuu is a digital publishing platform that makes it simple to publish magazines, catalogs, newspapers, books, and more online. Easily share your publications and get. 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. Filemaker Pro 7 Crackers Make Rectangle' title='Filemaker Pro 7 Crackers Make Rectangle' />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. Hemos creado unos grupos de foros, para que sea mas sencillo estar en contacto con otros programadores de cualquier lenguaje. El buen uso de este servicio es esencial. 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. URLDescription. Windows Only. Maltego. The defacto standard for mining data on individuals and companies. Comes in a free community version and paid version. A vulnerabilty scanning tool available in paid and free versions. Nessus is useful for finding and documenting vulnerabilities mostly from the inside of a given network. IBMs automated Web application security testing suite. ProductsRetina. aspx. Retina is an an automated network vulnerability scanner that can be managed from a single web based console. It can be used in conjunction with Metasploit where if an exploit exists in Metasploit, it can be launched directly from Retina to verify that the vulnerability exists.
