Building Penetration Testing Dropboxes
Chris Carlis

When performing Red Team or penetration testing, we occasionally need to put some hardware on the internal network. While it sounds simple, building out a basic "dropbox" that provides testers a secure, stable, and stealthy(?) pivot into a network can quickly turn into a painful adventure in balancing technology, project requirements and, restrictions. In this session we discuss the decisions, options, and compromises we face in building out a dropbox. Understanding the choices to be made helps us build the reliable tools that support productive testing engagements.
