VMWare is the way to go in such testing scenarios. I have it setup with multiple guest Operating Systems. You can have each Virtual machine set up with the configurations you want to and save the image with the required configuration before executing the attacks/exploits/malware against those virtual machines.

All, I'm in the process of setting up a pen-test lab environment of several servers running various OS flavors (both Windows & BSD/*nix) along with a netscreen-10 firewall and cisco 3825 to use as the lab router. What do other list members use for their lab environments and what suggestions/issues have you encountered? I'm just using equipment I have laying around but would be interested in hearing about other lab setups to get some ideas (or excuses to go shopping) on what else I can utilize for pen-testing practice. I'm definitely going to set up an imaging server (jumpstart & Altiris) to make changing things around less painful but I've also considered Vmware on the hosts. Basically I'm curious as to what you all use to practice pen-testing to keep the skills sharp when not "on the job". Thanks! -- Erin Carroll "Do Not Taunt Happy-Fun Ball"
