Looking to set up an infosec lab

["John M. Martinelli" <john () martinelli com>]

Hi, list.

A few of the previous e-mails going out on the mailing list got my  
attention - I'm interested in building a moderate hacklab to conduct  
mock attacks, intrusion detection, detection evasion, etcetera. My  
hardware situation allows me to deploy a VMware or Parallels lab -  
what kind of machines would you set up in my situation?

I plan on having a few Windows machines - perhaps a '98 box, a 2000  
box, and an XP box. As far as Linux, I'd like to set up a Zoot  
(RedHat 6.2) and BSD box, but beyond that I'm asking for advice.  
Which flavors would you put up for conducting general vulnerability  
testing?

Thanks,
John Martinelli
