PTK Installation

The Rapid7 Penetration Testing Kit (PTK) enables remote penetration testing to be conducted in a variety of environments. Below you will find information on the deployment of the Rapid7 PTK into a virtual environment either by means of importing an OVA or installing via the ISO image.

Please reach out to your Project Manager if you have any additional questions during PTK installation or if your issue is not addressed in the documentation. Support hours are Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm Pacific Standard Time.

PTK Requirements

PTK Network Requirements

Once deployed, the PTK will connect back to the PTK Network using the following for connection information. These are OUTBOUND connections and firewall exceptions may be needed to allow them:

• IP Address: 18.222.54.19
  • UDP/1194
  • TCP/8443
• Host: Rapid7.com (Optional: Resolves to Cloudfront addresses which are used by PTKs to periodically test HTTPS connectivity.)
  • TCP/443

Additionally, it is critical that the teams responsible for networking ensure that firewalls do not block application traffic for OpenVPN or SSL/TLS to the PTK host.

Hardware Requirements

• HDD: 30 GB minimum
• RAM: 8 GB minimum
• CPU: 2x x86-64 CPUs (ARM and 32 bit processors are not supported)

Any of these virtualization platforms can be used to run the PTK:

• VMWare ESXi/Workstation/Fusion/Player
• Oracle VirtualBox
• Ubuntu with KVM/libvirt
