FYI: Using Live Linux ISOs in VMware and M$ Virtual Machine; wireless
hacking will not work as the hardware is not replicated properly, from what
I hear.

Why not using distros as Phlack, Auditor, Knoppix, Whax and so on ?

They have been done for that kind of purpose, and they do not need any
install (they run directly from the CD) ?

The drawback is that you cannot use several distros at the same time, but
VMWare is quite "heavy".

HTH !

I'm busy setting up a test lab with different OS's using VMWare so I can
learn more about breaking into machines as well as preventing the breakins.
Is there any specific software I should have installed on the Virtual
machines that would help. I'm thinking on the lines of software the pstools,
fport, etc.
