@dodo said: @ZerkerEOD: No paid version (I’m poor) but the free one is enough for me but I think that for 5$ at month it is worth it.
I am testing it out and paid the $10 for a quater to check it out. I would happily pay so much more if it allowed me to keep notes and then import them into a final report. But the Report tab seems to lack since I have to retype all my notes (this is assuming I use it for reporting job based penetration test).
I personally like keepnote. It works on linux/mac/windows which makes it nice for when I’m doing stuff on my laptop to go and I just keep them in a synched folder. I used OneNote for the longest but the search in it is really poor when you are searching for characters like “,” or commands containing just a word. Keepnote seems to handle this better imo
I also prefer gedit. YMMV but i’ve found that the bells and whistles in most dedicated note-taking apps are unnecessary and distract more than they contribute, IMO.
I find sublime text to be pretty good but most of the time I just use gedit or vim or whatever is there or notepad ++ is good too linux and win but my ubuntu version I have is a little buggy at times not sure if it’s my system but I like sublime more than notepad ++ for linux
keepnote / Cherrytree - this is good for CTF/challenges… self contained
Microsoft One Note - I use this for a general scrapbook/wiki off stuff like cheatsheet guides. quick simple to slap stuff in
Notepad++ - cant go wrong with text files and a good folder structure and named screenshots. i typically use this for pentests. others like dradius, canvas, dart, serpico are ok but i feel over complicate things…
pentest.ws looks good and i want to try the self hosted version could be good.

I am still waiting for the selfhosted version also. They are also in the works to get a shared encounter going also for a team type attack. They will hopefully soon be everything that I need. I just wish the did Inline Code Snippets instead of just Block Code, and have the ability to add screenshots to the hosts notes and not just in the report section.
Cherrytree ftw. Free, offline, open-source, Markdown, hierarchical, font support, password protection, searching through everything… what else is there I could possibly need?
I hate anything that is online-only like pentest.ws because it makes assumptions about my network setup. Sometimes I want to work on stuff offline or away from wifi, and then what use is that service to me?
I also used Boostnote because of the markdown support and it was a really great note-keeping tool. But because I wanted something that I could access from any device I am now using GitBook which also supports markdown format!
In the past I’ve also used jekyll which is very easy to setup locally. Also a jekyll-blog can be easily published and integrated with github anytime which is very convenient.
