If you work in defense, finance, or critical infrastructure, your production network is physically disconnected from the internet. A standard "cloud trial" where the console lives on Rapid7’s server is useless. You need a portable engine—a lightweight virtual appliance or installer that you can move via USB drive, deploy behind a firewall, and scan without ever phoning home to a cloud mothership.

To make this work, you need a semi-powerful "portable" host. A standard office laptop with 8GB of RAM will struggle. Aim for:

It finds every device—from a forgotten IoT sensor in the breakroom to a critical SQL server in a DMZ—and prioritizes risks based on the Metasploit exploit framework and real-world attacker behavior.

Core components include:

But for a trial user, the big question is: Does it work on my infrastructure? That leads us to the "portable" piece.
