Is it possible, I will really like to find out I been looking for this info for about a week, and I have found nothing yet, I have two computers an old windows box, and a new iMac G5 they are both running their own wireless network, and I will like to exploit the network of my windows box and go into the computer the only problem is I haven't find any tools to help me in the mac enviroment, I know about linux but it doesn't have all the exploiting tools I need or I don't know a version that does ( their so many of them ) I'm wondering if there are any mac users out there doing what i'm trying to accomplished if you guys can pass that info on to me I will really appreciated.

Thanks,

Neo

You have several options. I am assuming that you are running OS X 10.4.3. If you become familiar with Linux and FreeBSD you will have all of the applications you need. Linux has the best pen testing applications bar none.

But if you want to use OS X then you may want to check out Fink or Darwin as they are developers that are configuring applications to work with OS X. Here are the links.

I guess the best option for me will be Linux, and FreeBSD but there are alot of options out there I have downloaded ubuntu, and knoppix I burn ubuntu as an ISO image it loads but I get the white scree of death, and it just stays there, knoppix I have try that one, I will Dl fink and learn about it, but about Linux, and FreeBSD which versions of it do you recommned for me I will really appreciate your input on this.

You already have those as they are the actual underpinnings being used by the OS X.

Check out this link.

I believe the majority of major network security tools will work in OS X:

I am getting a Mac soon myself and am interested in this also. Hope that helps!

yes, any unix tool out there should work fine under a mac, but the linux ones are not all compatible.

and i personally prefer fink, as it's so similar to the linux apt-get command. but then i haven't messed around a whole lot with that side of things.

moondoggie,
apt-get is really useful in a Linux environment...out of curiosity, how do you use fink? Just bring up terminal and do something like
Code:
fink gcc
if you wanted to download/install gcc?

more like
Code:
fink install gcc
but the docs for fink are very good at explaining how fink works much better than me Smile there are lots of little options that i have never tried

Got my HacBook, Fink works like a charm, thanks for telling me about it! I didn't need to download the gcc thanks to XCode (development environment for OS X) but I was able to use fink to install nmap, the gimp and some other great tools!

Yeah I downloaded the latest XCode tools after I joined the Apple Developer Connection (from the ADC web site.) One of the main things I wanted to be able to do right off the bat was compile/run my C stuff from my old Linux box. Everything compiled perfectly using XCode with the Terminal, and I really couldn't be happier with the Mac. Now I still have to try compiling my Java stuff, but from a quick look at the XCode tools it seems there's a lot of stuff for Java so I should be set! Very Happy

Edit:
Also, once I upgrade my RAM, I am thinking seriously about running virtual Linux under Parallels for any Linux utilities that I can't find OS X equivalents for.
