We almost missed it: Mandiant has released Commando VM 3.0, the latest version of the leading Windows-based solution for penetration testing. Commando VM offers a comprehensive collection of tools for security experts, similar to Kali Linux, but with a crucial difference: Commando VM is specifically optimized for the Windows environment and includes tools that are exclusively available on Windows. This makes it the ideal solution for attacking Active Directory from a Windows system.
Why Commando VM 3.0?
Commando VM 3.0 represents a significant advancement in the world of penetration testing. It's not just a collection of tools; it's a fully configured testing environment, specifically developed to meet the requirements of security professionals. With the integration of Windows-specific tools, Commando VM 3.0 provides a seamless and efficient platform for testing security vulnerabilities in a Windows environment, especially for attacking Active Directory structures. And some of us just prefer testing from a Windows machine. We don't judge.
Special Appreciation from Artur Stöber of the Exploit Labs Team
We let Artur try out v3.0. A special highlight of Commando VM 3.0 is the package installer, which Artur particularly appreciates. Artur has actively contributed to improving Commando VM by submitting pull requests to optimize the installation and operation on a Windows system with German language settings. The German alphabet can get in the way during installation and use. Thanks to Artur's contributions, Commando VM can now handle this better.
