Pentest Toolbox Additions 2018

I’m a red teamer,.I do work similar to pentesting and use many of the same tools. This year, I’ve added several tools to my toolbox. I’ll introduce them to you below. I hope you find them valuable, as well.

I used to get a little bummed when I would come up against a web application like Office365 where the login is a multi-step process. Such web apps required extra time to create a script to do the password spraying. In this case, DoubleTap is your best friend.

It comes with a module already set up and ready to go for spraying Office365, and you can easily add your own modules. Check it out here.
