Introduction

As a pentester, there are many great resources, cheat sheets, and guidelines that contain a large amount of valuable information. However, it can be frustrating and time-consuming to find these notes or resources that are scattered all over the place. Not to mention the large amount of notes you have stored locally across your system with several different note-taking tools. In addition, some pentesters could be in assessments that are in a closed environment making it more challenging to transfer there notes and files on their devices. That's when I found Joplin to be able to suit my needs when I am on engagements.

A Word of Advice:

This template contains a variety of tools, commands, and resources that I reference from to use for certain cases when I am on an engagement. However, it is important that you learn about these tools and understand the references being used! Take some time to look over the resources I put in before you start running these tools or commands blindly. If the tool or command does not work the way it should, then take a step back and troubleshoot it. Critical thinking is a necessary skill that all pentesters need to have when they are assessing a variety of options to make a better informed decision.

Features with Joplin:

  • Notes can be searchable, copied, tagged, and modified either from the applications directly or from your text editor.
  • Markdown Editor and Reader. Easy to import and export notes to multiple formats.
  • WebClipper to save web pages and screenshot from Firefox and Chrome Browser
  • Sync notes on various cloud applications such as NextCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive
  • Sync notes on a local file share or WebDav.
  • Compatible to work on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android

What does the template include?

  • Command line references.
  • Personal notes that I left as reminders when I am assessing a target.
  • PWK Report in Markdown (Can be exported into a PDF)
