Penetration testing, a key component in the cybersecurity industry, often relies on resource-intensive virtual machines (VMs) that generally limit cross-platform portability. This paper proposes a digital solution in the form of a Docker container that encapsulates a comprehensive set of preconfigured penetration testing tools, including its requirements and/or dependencies. By leveraging Docker containers, the project aims to improve the accessibility and portability of penetration testing tools across different operating systems, while also maintaining a lower resource consumption when performing such heavy tasks.

摘要

Penetration testing, a key component in the cybersecurity industry, often relies on resource-intensive virtual machines (VMs) that generally limit cross-platform portability. This paper proposes a digital solution in the form of a Docker container that encapsulates a comprehensive set of preconfigured penetration testing tools, including its requirements and/or dependencies. By leveraging Docker containers, the project aims to improve the accessibility and portability of penetration testing tools across different operating systems, while also maintaining a lower resource consumption when performing such heavy tasks.
