Every information security pro should be familar with the basics of penetration testing, but figuring out which tools to use and taking the time to build each one can be a tedious process. So why not use a whole bunch of different pen-testing tools in one convenient package?
In this month's SearchSecurity.com screencast, Peter Giannoulis of The Academy Home and The Academy Pro demonstrates the Samurai Web Testing Framework, a free, live Linux distro pre-configured to function as a stand-alone Web pen-testing environment that has numerous tools like Maltego and Nmap built in.
Below, Peter shows how to install and use SamuraiWTF not only as an ISO image, but also as a virtual machine.
