Mechanical Revolution z2 Black Apple Transformation Plan 2-MacOS Utilities & Penetration Tools

Mechanical Revolution z2 Black Apple Transformation Plan 2nd round - practical software

Mac Utilities

This is the second part of the old computer transformation plan, which is to install some common software and some penetration testing tools, and arm the soul to become a real productivity tool

First of all, I recommend a website, www.mactools.app . This software contains most commonly used software and some penetration testing tools, and they are all "processed" and can be used directly.

Another website is the Black Fruit Forum of Mechanical Revolution, which also provides some software skills and software for download

• Practical Tips
• utility software

In addition to some software and problems encountered

1. Homebrew

   Homebrew is a free and open source software package management system to simplify the software installation process on the macOS system, which can be understood as linux apt-get/yum

   Installation is very simple, ready-made installation commands are provided online

   /bin/zsh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://gitee.com/cunkai/HomebrewCN/raw/master/Homebrew.sh)"
   

   After installation, you can use brew to install other tools, list of related tools, links

   Any python, Java, go and other environments can also be installed through brew, which is very convenient

2. The vmware fusion tool is actually nothing to say, it is a virtual machine. There is a parallels desktop on macos that can be used better, but the virtual machines generated by vmware can generally be used on macOS/win, and vmware is "for nothing". The aspect is more friendly, just search on the Internet

   Because there are more than ten virtual machines on my original win computer, I can find all the virtual machines directly in the file-scan virtual machine

   If you cannot import, you can refer to the following methods

   • Add the suffix .vmwarevm to the directory name of the entire directory and double-click to open it directly with vmfusion

   If it still doesn't work, export it as an ovf file on the win system

   1. Export the virtual machine as an open virtual machine file .ovf in windows

   2. A total of three files .ovf, .mf, .vmdk

   3. Copy these three files to the mac

   4. Import virtual machine with funsion

   Also, I started flashback after vmware installation, and later found a way

   Open "Finder", "Applications", find "VMware Fusion", click "Right click" (secondary click), select "Show Package Contents", enter "Contents"/"Library" in turn, find this file "Deploy VMware Fusion.mpkg", double-click to run and follow the wizard to complete the installation. Double-click to run "VMware Fusion", that is, it will no longer crash

3. parallels desktop

   Virtual machine more suitable for macOS, activation method

4. Typora

   I think there is no one of the best documentation tools, now the latest version is a paid version, just download the original beta version

   1. Windows 64bit (exe)

      https://download.typora.io/windows/typora-setup-x64-0.11.18.exe

   2. Windows 32bit (exe)

      https://download.typora.io/windows/typora-setup-ia32-0.11.18.exe

   3. MacOS

      https://download.typora.io/mac/Typora-0.11.18.dmg

   4. Linux

      https://download.typora.io/linux/typora_0.11.18_amd64.deb

5. State Menus

   Can display some basic information of the computer in the notification bar

   iStat Menus for mac License

   

6. Screen recording to gif image

   • You can use the licecap software directly, but the disadvantage is that you can’t record it in the navigation bar below

   • Use the Quicktime player to record the screen and then use the ffmpeg tool to convert the mov video to a gif image, the command is as follows

     ffmpeg -i file.mov -r 15 file.gif
