c0r Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I want to setup a pentestlab at my home and i'm wondering if it would be possible to create an image of a windows xp,2003,2008,vista&win7. Or even create an iso of a complete network. You all know the pentest live cd's thomas wilhelm created (de-ice.net)... Now i want to create something similar but in a windows environment. The mean idea would be to setup a windows machine in a vm...make it vulnerable... and make a livecd... Would it work? c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 You might be able to make a live boot Win DVD that is vulnerable. But if you are doing this at your home. Just make a few virtual machines for victim machines and put them all on a different subnet virtually. And I am not familiar with the pentest live CDs by Thomas Wilhelm sorry.

Infiltrator Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I agree with Mr-Protocol, just create a virtual lab using VirtualBox or VMware. And have your favorite operating system running virtually. I myself do exactly this, I have several virtual XP boxes and one of them being the attacker running the pen-test tools like (nessus, metasploit or Backtrack). I find this approach very easy to deal with. However if you have some spare physical hardware, you could install windows on it and make it vulnerable.

c0r Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I allready have a vm-lab up and running... The idea was this... for example... i create a windowsbox (xp,2003,2008...) update it but leave 1 or 2 things left to exploit. Then save the vm or make an iso of it so you can start it up in a vm and test it out. Then i could make a howto and we could pass these vm's or iso around so we can test out each others creation. c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you don't install any drivers at all and let windows do all the driver assigning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
