Hi all, I would like to do some pen testing with a pentest distro, but most use virtual box. Is there a way to boot a PC that is on my network and test it with a seperate PC?
Thanks,

Inventor1

Yes I don't see why it wouldn't be possible as long as you have 2 pc's.

Ok, I will try it, thanks.
Would you reccomend a good linux, or windows vulnerable distro for the other pc?

Do you need to run it off of live-cd? Can't you just dual-boot?
