A clean and clear documentation helps you report your work. There are two documentation tools we use to keep documentation organized:
- KeepNote
- Dradis
A document organizer is a little different from a mere text editor or word processor. Proper documentation requires an organized filing structure. Certainly, a Windows security analyst could create a folder structure that lets them organize the documents. It is in-built in these document-organizing applications, and using them reduces the chance of losing a folder, or accidentally recursing your folders, or losing important parts of the investigation's documentation.
KeepNote is the simpler tool, and quite sufficient if you are working alone. To find KeepNote, open the Application menu and click on Kali Linux | Recording tools | Documentation | KeepNote. The following image shows a KeepNote setup similar to the way you would record a short test.
Dradis is a web application, and can be used to share documentation with a team. The default URL for Dradis is https://127.0.0.1:3004. The application can be hosted on a remote secure server, and that is the best feature about Dradis. The following screenshot comes from http://dradisframework.org.
