They really kill two birds with one stone! They are a note taking application and they also sync to the cloud in the background, making it for easier book keeping. There is a couple tools here that have an advantage on the storage fronts, those are OneNote, Evernote and Google Docs. To keep track of the notes (storage) ,I have used OneDrive, Google Drive, and Git (GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket). From simple notepad as well as notepad++, vim, Cherrytree, OneNote, Evernote(very briefly), and Google Docs. I have used a variety of tools over the years. I found this article in with a simple guide and some good points of important details to include and a basic idea of how to organize your notes:Īnother thing I would like to discuss is tools and how to do we track these notes? We worked hard to put them together in an organized format so that we can get refer to them later, but it does us no good if they get accidentally deleted or lost somehow. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like doing things twice if I can help it, and doing research on something I already know I have done in the past seems a bit of a waste of time! This is why taking good notes can make a big difference and I see a lot of good value in taking good notes.
This notes also allow you to come back to something you found in another assessment that can help you in your next one. I have found most of the time, that if I have good notes writing the report is more of a breeze than a chore.
A lot of the times, there is some kind of report involved and this notes (especially if we took some good notes :)) are a big help when writing the report. I am always looking to improve and to become more efficient at what I am doing, and taking better notes, I think, can help us out throughout the project and in the future. This is very much the case when doing security testing/penetration testing, security research, etc. Sometimes the notes are simple, but other times, the material I am working with can get somewhat involved and I need to take good notes to keep track of things. Anytime I work on a project I take some kind of notes.
