Re: TNG Pen Test Tool Questions

Meh, same questions are always asked of pretty much any purchase IT or not.

1. Does it do what I need it to do (give me control of the system)
2. Is it reliable (switching protocols and comm methods is a technical
detail)
3. Does it have enough oomph (highly technical term, amount of
exploits/0day/MITM/Citrix voodoo)

I doubt very many pentesters will be asking for the features you have
described any time soon. I fear the day when pentesters start asking
FLAME/STUXNET questions like "Which $hardware/$software do you have a
backdoor in"

Not everybody is a exploit expert and someone in the chain of command will
ask if your arbitary value A is larger than competitors arbitrary value A.

The future of penetration testing tools is coming up quickly, and all
the questions have changed on you.

For example, it used to be that you would ask:

o  "How many exploits does it have?"
o "How fast can it scan a class B?"
o "Can it connect back over HTTPS?"
o "Can it bounce from host to host within the internal network?"
o "Can you automatically choose the right client side attack when people
connect to you?"
o etc

But here are some of the ones we're asking the INNUENDO dev team, which
I think are representative of the post FLAME/STUXNET world:
o "Is the local persistence store configurable between the registry and
file system or other covert data storage?"
o "Can I reconfigure the callback protocol on the fly during a file
transfer - and does this automatically happen if my HTTPS callback gets
suddenly blocked or shut down?"
o "How does it handle Citrix?"
o "Is the covert file storage automatically encrypted to C&C or is it
plaintext or what?"
o "Can I store exploit modules encrypted on the machine until the C&C
asks for them to be used?" (http://www.securelist.com/en/blog/208193781/
)
o "Does it come with the ability to do raw socket injection on Windows 8
x64?"
o "How do I write a MITM module?"
