Re: Lab setup for security learning

Hi Ankur,

These days vmware products are free, so why not use them? This kind of
setup would help you much as guest OSs without X (*nix) will not require
much resources...

Also, it might save a lot of time at re-installation (in case you'll
bring down totally during your "experiments").

My 50 cents...

With a subject: Lab setup for security learning

Hello all
Me and a couple of friends wish to set up a lab of our own for
learning network security. I'd like some suggestions about the setup
of the lab with respect to

a) The number of machines (We only have 3)
b) Networking components (we have a 4 port switch and a 4-port hub)
c) OS/Softwares (Win XP, Fedora Core 2, Backtrack (for all testing),
windows disassemblers etc.)
d) Setup architecture (both physical and software)

Any suggestions for above are welcome. I'd appreciate it if you can
provide any links/docs/tutorials etc.

Thanks
Ankur
