Hi Peter,you will be astonished, I don't use laptops exeptual I go wireless, then I have to, no PDA's and no sonic ear type devices. I carry my ATX towers, cables keyboards, a good stack of paper, pencils, calculator, references where needed, Software - mostly open source, enough cigarretes, "dos pinos"-strawberrymilk, water, Maruchan or Ramen Instantnoodlesoups. I take my notices with a txt-editor or doing screeshots and all the rest I write down by hand -old shool...
In the past years I often heard from customers the question "And where is your laptop" and I alway had the feeling that they think, the posession of a laptop is a important proof of competence; the world turned crazy, enjoy!

What do you carry with you when you are on the job? I watched a video from Iron Geek showing multiple laptops, PDAs, etc and I was curious what items you have found to be important when going on the job. In movies they show the glitz and glamor side of things with rollup keyboards and gadgets most people probably don't need, but do any of those things come in handy often enough to take them? At the risk of being laughed at have you heard of people going as far as bringing sonic ear type devices or similar surveillance devices to pull information that way? Please keep in mind I am very new to the world of pen testing so I really don't know what situations you can get into other than what I have heard, but I also heard the world was flat.
