One word - GSX Server from VMWare. You can host multiple machines with virtual networking. I highly recommend.

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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: ByteCrusher Detect Malicious Web Content and Exploits in Real-Time.
