In my case since I spent most of my time writing code for Meterepter my lab has: Internal Network PFsense Firewall VM Windows 2003 Domain Controller SP3 Windows 2000 Memeber Server SP2 Windows 2000 Memeber Server SP3 Windows 2000 Memeber Server SP4 Windows 2003 No patch Windows 2003 SP1 Windows 2003 SP2 Windows 2003 SP3 Windows 2003 SP3 With Oracle 9i Windows 2003 SP3 With Oracle 10g Windows 2003 SP3 With Oracle 11g Windows 2003 SP3 With SQL 2005 Windows 2003 SP3 With SQL 2008 Windows 2003 Fully Patched Windows Vista SP1 Windows Vista SP2 Windows Vista SP1 no UAC Windows Vista SP2 no UAC Windows XP SP2 Windows XP SP3 Windows XP Fully Patched Windows 2008 SP1 Windows 2008 SP2 Windows 7 RC1 BT4-Pre Internal Attack Machine External Network BT4-Pre Internal external Machine Ubuntu 9.04 Dev Machine All of this is almost a 1TB of VM's running under VMware in one Quad 8 GB VMware ESXi Box, I'm able to bring up 8 of them. I have Meterpreter as an executable on all machines both for user initialization or thru the Scheduler service so as to get System priveles so I can test all of my scripts as System and Administrative user. On a Mac at home under the latest Fusion I have a Leopard test VM not fully patched. On Mon, 2009-07-20 at 15:25 +1000, Ali Emirlioglu wrote:
For my malware lab, I've got Windows XP unpatched, Debian 5.0 as BIND, IRCd, etc. server, BackTrack4b for attacking and sniffing, and Windows 2003 unpatched to see if malware infects over virtual network. Very simple build but has thought me a great deal and has helped with my school projects immensely... On my MBP, I've got OS X with VMWare fusion running Windows 7 in Unity mode... I plan to get into using DVL soon... On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 2:53 PM, Michael Douglas <mick at pauldotcom.com> wrote: I've got Xen running on my Ubuntu server at home. I have one "jumphost" guest with bridged networking that allows folks to VPN into it via OpenVPN I have the following guest OSs (I usually run only three or so at a time) - Win XP unpatched - Win XP SP 3 current - Debian - Ubuntu - DSL - TinyCore - CentOS - OpenSuse - BuggyBank - a debian box with matilldae - Moth - DVL At work, I have a beefy ESX server with just about every OS that we're going to run across. It's a bit of a pain to keep all those guests happy. ;) On Sun, Jul 19, 2009 at 8:44 PM, mattnels<mattnels at gmail.com> wrote: > Kyle, > > > > I use Citrix XenServer for my "permanent" infrastructure.
