Thanks for the input folks... I am trying to cost justify the $3K for my new MBP right now (anyone have any good security/pentest focused reasons to go this direction)... Has anyone had any problems compiling/running any of the unix flavor tools in OSX (john, nessus, hydra, rainbow crack)? Or has anyone had any problems with the windows stack being muddled thru paralles and into OSX and as such stopping attack tools from working? I know, I know... If you have a native *nix OS why would you be messing with Windows... My only response is CORE...

OS X sees it as a Prism 2 chipset and KisMAC uses it natively. I have also used it successfully on other systems with both Auditor and BackTrack. Other than having to use Rosetta every once in a while to get a DMG to work correctly, I do not see any problems with the MBP. I have Windows XP installed under Paralles but have not spent any time with it. On Jul 22, 2006, at 4:45 PM, kelly () cliffhanger com wrote:
I just bought a macbook pro. I can still take it back if I want to but, I'm wondering if any of you find the macbook pro (intel proc) useful for pen testing? I'm running an app called parallels. Parallels is like vmware for mac. But I'm not sure if I can build internal networks like vmware tho. My biggest question is ... - What usb wireless cards are available that work with the bootable linux distros (for pen testing)? - Is the macbook pro (intel) useful for pen testing? -- kelly http://home1.gte.net/res0psau/index.html#Hang-Gliding-Stuff -- -- \ / \/ /\ / \ -- -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Concerned about Web Application Security?
