RehaxOS - a pentesting VM based on ReactOS
RehaxOS is a red team 32 bit virtual machine based on ReactOS 0.4.14.
It is a virtualbox image of a base installation of ReactOS and then a number of tools added overtop and a background added.
No. This is simply a warm VM image.
I have two main reasons why I did this:
- I wanted to see if ReactOS is stable enough to serve a useful purpose, in this case penetration testing
- I thought it would be funny
As an offensive security product, RehaxOS has a number of features. Try them out!
- Surf the internet (firefox, otter, D+)
- Edit files (notepad++, HexEd)
- Run some of your favorite utilities (GNU utils for cmd)
- Run penetration tests! (PentestBox suite of software, metasploit)
- Write code (python 3)
There are many programs which either crash immediately or exhibit strange behavior. For example, PentestBox is built mostly on ConEmu. ConEmu can't seem to open a console, and you also can't close the program either without restarting the VM. Use this at your own risk. I cannot stress enough that this is mostly a joke and a stress test for ReactOS
This file is an OVA file in a 7zip archive. After unzipping it, you should be able to open it in Virtualbox or VMWare and it will set up the machine right away. The RAM is set to 2 GB, but you can try upgrading that if you wish. Please be aware that, as a 32-bit operating system, this VM has limits on how much RAM it can access.
