I couldn't agree more. The VMware product is an excellent tool for testing security exploits. I have a book coming out this August (Virtually Hacking, Hacking the Virtual Computer) which details this procedure in a step-by-step process. Chapter 1 specifically instructs the reader how too install and setup virtual Windows and Linux testing machines. Any CISSP that would like an advanced copy of Chapter 1 may contact me directly.
