Being a Network engineer I never understood why Network/Cyber Security people or Pentesters always buy an expensive Macbook Pro and then completely ignore
the BSD fundamentals and power of the Terminal.
As most guides will tell you , to pentest you either need to install Kali Linux natively or in a Virtual Machine or another Pentest Linux Distro ( ParotSec for ex.).
Most tools either are available via Macports (or Homebrew on Intel) or can be compiled from source.
To make this an even more interesting topic during the Winter challenge , I decided to install these tools on a PowerPC (iBook G4 12",iBook G4 14",PB G4 12" 1.5 Ghz and last but not least my G5), running with mSATA/PATA/SATA SSD's and full memory specs.
The list of tools I installed was gathered from following resources :

To conclude my giant Day 2 post, off course some of these tools will be slow on our old hardware but
you don't need an Intel processor , VMware,VirtualBox or Kali Linux , never underestimate the Power(PC)
the BSD fundamentals and power of the Terminal.
As most guides will tell you , to pentest you either need to install Kali Linux natively or in a Virtual Machine or another Pentest Linux Distro ( ParotSec for ex.).
