I wanted your input on how should I go about setting up a laptop that will
be used for security testing purposes (penetration testing, forensics,
etc). Also planning to add a pcmcia wireless card (any recommended?
This is the
laptop:http://www.dell.com/us/en/bsd/products/model_inspn_inspn_1100.htm
I'm planning to dual boot Red Hat 9.0 and Windows 2k, along with
installing the usual tools like Ethereal, nmap, tcpdump, etc.
What else should I add? Are these the recomended OS, or would you put
something else instead? In other words, if you were to walk into a company
for a consulting job, what would you want to have on this laptop?
Thanks to all!
