In today's episode I cover some of the nasty "gotchas" I've run into when sending my pentest dropboxes around the country. Curious on how to setup your own portable pentest dropboxes (and/or pentest lab environments)? Check out part 1 and part 2 of the DIY Pentest Lab video series.

Here are some of the pain points I cover today:

Turn the firewall off Set Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Network > Network Connections > Windows Firewall > Domain Profile > Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections to Disabled. Do the same for the Standard Profile by changing Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Network > Network Connections > Windows Firewall > Standard Profile > Windows Firewall: Protect all network connections to Disabled.
Disable Windows Defender Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Defender and choose Turn Off Windows Defender.
Disable power sleep settings To stop computers from snoozing on the job, head to Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > Power Management > Sleep Settings and set Allow standby states (S1-S3) when sleeping (plugged in) to Disabled
Create a second disk on the Windows management VM and install BitLocker to Go
