Commando VM vs LinPEAS
GitHub Stats
About Commando VM
Commando VM is a Windows-based penetration testing virtual machine distribution created by Mandiant (formerly FireEye). It uses Boxstarter, Chocolatey, and custom scripts to automatically install and configure over 140 offensive security tools on a Windows platform. This includes tools for Active Directory attacks, reverse engineering, exploitation, vulnerability analysis, and reconnaissance. Unlike Kali Linux, Commando VM provides a native Windows testing environment essential for testing Windows-specific exploits, running .NET offensive tools natively, and testing in environments where Linux tools are impractical.
About LinPEAS
LinPEAS (Linux Privilege Escalation Awesome Script) is a comprehensive enumeration script that searches for possible paths to escalate privileges on Linux hosts. It checks for misconfigurations, SUID/SGID binaries, writable files, cron jobs, kernel exploits, interesting files, credentials in configuration files, and much more. LinPEAS is part of the PEASS-ng suite which also includes WinPEAS for Windows. It's the first tool most pentesters run after gaining initial access to a Linux system.
