We have to clarify from the start of this review, that this particular laptop is not addressed to everybody, but
covers –extremely good- specialised needs and requirements. Concretely the Penetrator makes what
implies precisely in its name: it infiltrates in networks and evaluates the safety but also their resistances to
attacks.
The particular portable computer apart from Windows Vista, allocates a distribution of custom Linux, in which
are included all the necessary for hacking and cracking. The first step is the finding the essential password –
key- for the connection with each network. Specifically for the wireless networks, the Penetrator can discover
WEP WPA and WPA2 keys. In the case of WEP, the time of detection oscillates between few minutes and
up to one hour (depending on the difficulty of code), while in the case of WPA2 the all process can take even
days.
The Penetrator however is not limited only in the finding the password. One of his more important “arms”
concerns in the possibility of beginning of attacks. They are included more from the 10.000 known exploits
(list is renewed to them enough times at the duration of day), while are supported attacks of type Denial of
Service.
The particular tools are ideally for the evaluation of new and also existing networks. The reason is that in a
checked environment of an enterprise it can realise if the network is an “impenetrable castle” or “full of
holes”.
At the duration of trials we attacked - only for the needs this review - in various wireless and wired networks.
In all the cases the PENETRATOR accomplished it finds all the essential password –keys-.
The process lasted from few a minutes (for numerical code small extent) up to enough days in a wireless
network with safety WPA2.
Also available exploits they revealed the weaknesses of all networks that in the practice were proved
hundreds.
It deserves finally we report that the PENETRATOR can be also used as conventional portable computer,
includes BUSINESS Edition of Windows Vista.
In general Penetrator is fast enough, without however to be the leader. In any case, you do not need to carry
second computer together you, after the particular system can cover you enough satisfactorily." PC WORLD
