Commando VM vs Seatbelt
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 Seatbelt
Seatbelt is a C# project that performs a number of security-oriented host-survey 'safety checks' relevant from both offensive and defensive security perspectives. It gathers system data including OS info, installed AV/EDR, PowerShell settings, audit policies, saved credentials, browser data, scheduled tasks, installed software, network shares, and much more. It's typically the first tool run after gaining access to understand the environment and identify opportunities.
