RE: Basic facilities required to establish a pen test lab

Here's a link to a quick article about setting up an inexpensive lab:

http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/building-an-infosec-lab-on-the-c
heap

As far as software, you'll want a variety of OS's on the boxes / virtual
boxes that you end up using. You could set up dual and tri-boot drives if
you're using physical boxes; in the case of virtual boxes, just keep a
varied stock of images. LiveCDs, where available, are handy as well.

Concerning the actual tools you will be using, that is a question that you
have to figure out on your own. This list mentions a great number of good
tools, and you can also find other tools on sites like insecure.org. Also,
having gotten the CEH, you should be reasonably aware of a number of tools
that you would want to use.

Hope that helps.

I am CEH. But still I need some suggestion from you guys to setup a pen test
lab. Please give me some guidance about the basic essential hardware and
software to make a good pen test lab
