how many computers are needed?

["leon" <leon () inyc com>]

Hi everyone,

I have a basic question on pen-testing.  How many consultants and
computers goto a small to mid sized network (say 100 machines or fewer)?
It seems that between nmaping every single port (tcp & udp) ((I asked
this question a couple of days ago and the two responses I got suggested
this)) on every single host (if this is what the customer wants),
running things like ISS, Nessus or Scanner of choice, along with other
tools like Whisker or l0phtcrack and etc, this could take an awful long
time (not to mention cpu cycles).  Do most people bring more then one
laptop with them?

Sorry if this is really basic I checked the archive and saw no mention
of it.

Cheers,

Leon
