It is a simple command line utility. PentestBox runs directly on host machines instead of relying on virtual machines, bringing obvious upgrades in performance. All the dependencies required by tools are inside PentestBox, so you can even run PentestBox on freshly installed windows without any hassle. PentestBox is entirely portable, so now you can carry your own Penetration Testing Environment on a USB stick. It will take care of all dependencies and configuration required to run tools. It is very light on the Disk as well, it requires less than a third of what linux pentesting distro does. PentestBox runs on the host machine without any need for a virtual machine. So it only need's 20 MB for launching compared to atleast 2GB of RAM need for running virtual machine distributions. PentestBox contains a version of Mozilla Firefox Browser with nearly all its security addons. To know the complete list of addons, please click here. Most users aren’t concerned about 32-bit support because they normally uses 64 bit systems. But this was introduced to turn low-end systems into a Pentesting Environment. Just to give an idea, i have tested PentestBox on this $200 machine, and it ran without a hitch.
