Re: Cloud based scanner/attack platform

[Jack Daniel <jackadaniel () gmail com>]

I have no personal knowledge of such things, BUT, my friend "Bob" has used
NQHosts' Moscow VPS facilities to great benefit in research.  Bob tells me
they take PayPal if you don't want to give them a credit card, but he never
had billing issues.

Personally, I might suggest checking with CloudSigma, they have open
networking (unlike most) and are very easy to deal with- but I haven't
specifically asked about aggressive scanning from their cloud instances.
