TL;DR https://github.com/hacktivesec/ghostwire Traditional pentesting distributions (and the Docker versions as well) have become heavy, hard to maintain, and inconsistent across different environments. Ghostwire was created to offer a simpler alternative: a minimal, repeatable, and transparent Docker toolkit with an essential set of tools for web, network, Active Directory, mobile, and post-compromise analysis.

The Domino Effect: An Analysis of Catastrophic OPSEC Failures Through Aggregated Technical Lapses This research validates the thesis that major operational security (OPSEC) compromises are overwhelmingly the product of an accumulation of fundamental technical errors, rather than singular, indefensible exploits. Through in-depth forensic analysis of Ross Ulbricht, the FIN7 cybercrime syndicate, and Russian state-sponsored actors […]
