You can get the tools you listed for OS X at http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ or by using Fink http://fink.sourceforge.net/. These projects compile FreeBSD ports of the linux tools that you mention with an easy "apt-get" like interface.
As for Parallels/XP using CORE Impact testing, I would suggest you try it using VMware or such -- it would probably be somewhat similar. I don't see how it would be that different, although I know of some problems using peripherals in XP under Parallels.
Hope this helps.

I wish I could answer your questions but I can't. I'm not experienced enough. I'm looking forward to some feedback from those on this list who are.

Quoting Kyle Starkey <kstarkey@siegeworks.com>: Thanks for the input folks... I am trying to cost justify the $3K for my new MBP right now (anyone have any good security/pentest focused reasons to go this direction)... Has anyone had any problems compiling/running any of the unix flavor tools in OSX (john, nessus, hydra, rainbow crack)? Or has anyone had any problems with the windows stack being muddled thru paralles and into OSX and as such stopping attack tools from working?
I know, I know... If you have a native *nix OS why would you be messing with Windows... My only response is CORE...
Cheers -K

Kelly,
I am using a D-Link DWL-122 with my MBP and it works just fine. OS X sees it as a Prism 2 chipset and KisMAC uses it natively. I have also used it successfully on other systems with both Auditor and BackTrack.
Other than having to use Rosetta every once in a while to get a DMG to work correctly, I do not see any problems with the MBP. I have Windows XP installed under Paralles but have not spent any time with it.
