Hey


Just wondering what you guys use for your labs in the way of specs and maybe what your currently playing with/setting up :)



Cheers

well, the lab i've got set up has parts galore, from a few pentium pro's to an extra dual channel u160 controller to a gf3 to a spare pair of 512meg sticks of registered ecc pc2100 to an emergency 24 port 10/100 netgear 1u switch.

i've got a cabletron (now enterasys) els100-24txm 1u 24 port 10/100 managed switch, and a 16 port linksys 10/100 switch to run the network, and i'm working on a more elegant solution to bridging to the wireless AP i've got set up in the house (the lab is not part of the house, it's outside, and running cable is not an option).

i've got a p2 running 98, a dual ppro running nt server, a p3 600 running 2k server, an athlon 750 runing 2k3 server, a p2 400 running openbsd - and those are just the machines that stay pretty much static, and are there as fixtures. there are also a few variable machines, that get formatted to whatever i want to try and incorporate into the existing setup whenever i feel like it. and this is forgetting the athlon 1600 xp machine that serves as the primary workstation back there, and the three athlon's in the house (mine, my wife's, and the firewall), and the two laptops.
 
My lab:

PC's

HP ze4430 Laptop: AXP-m 2400+, 512mb ram, ATI Radeon (equiv. to a 7500), 40gb hard drive, int. Broadcom 54g wireless, XP Pro, Knoppix-STD (hdd install)

Gateway Solo Laptop: P2 266, 192mb RAM, 8gb hard drive, XP Pro (fixing to be turned into a linux box), Cisco Aironet wireless card

Custom PC: AXP 1800+, 256mb RAM, 80gb hard drive, Radeon 8500, XP Pro/WinME

Networking stuff:

Cisco PIX 501 (6.3.3)
Netgear 16-port switch
Dell 2300 Truemobile wireless AP

I'm not working on anything at the moment. Too busy with school right now...I probably will be soon, there are some programming/security competitions coming up soon.
 
i've got the machine in my sig,

a dual pentium 3 750MHz, 768MB RAM, GeForce3 Ti200, 16xCDROM, Redhat Linux 9.0/Windows 2k pro dualboot, dual pentium 2 xeon 450MHz, 384MB RAM, Slackware 9.1/Gentoo 1.4 linux distributions, Compaq armada laptop running windows 98SE and Redhat 7.3, Pentium 166 firewall running gentoo linux as well, K6-2 500 MHz bitchmachine, running windows 98SE, ZyXel Prestige 643 DSL modem w/4 port switch, Linksys 8 port switch, lots of cat5e, some wireless for my axim and my girlfriend's axim, as well as the laptop... :) it's like getting an x-ray, just walking near my house.
 
My "lab":

Toshiba Libretto 50CT, guts ripped out and replaced with 70CT motherboard and keyboard. Used with various 802.11b cards (Cisco 352LMC, WaveLAN Gold, etc.) and a hacked Earthmate GPS (fed +5V on pin 9 from a PS/2 connector I hacked together), currently running RedHat 9, for wardriving/wireless pentesting.

Sony Vaio 505GX: Currently used for network monitoring.

Three Shuttle mini PCs: One running OpenBSD (firewall), the other two running FreeBSD (one is a media server, the other is our home workhorse -- email, netnews, web server, compile rig, testbed, etc.)

2.8GHz gaming rig with Dell 2001FP LCD.

Mitsubishi 2060u 22" monitor.
Sony 520GS 21" monitor.

A Soekris 802.11b access point running Linux.

A Brother 1270N networked laser printer.

An AirPort Base Station.

An AirPort Extreme Base Station.

3 WET11 802.11b bridges.

2 WAP11 802.11b access points.

A 12" 1GHz Powerbook.

A Sager 5680, fully loaded and maxed out.

Various removable HDs for the notebooks and desktops (all my desktops have removable drive trays in them), with various versions of Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris x86, and so forth for testing.

A 3Com 16-port switch.

3 Netgear 8-port switches.

A D-Link 5-port switch.

Various Netgear 5 and 8-port switches scattered throughout the house. Everything's eventually either bridged to wireless, or connected to a CAT5 uplink running along the wall.

An Axis 2100 camera (runs Linux, built-in Ethernet).

A SliMP3 MP3 player.

Networked XBox, Dreamcast, and PS2 (to test Linux and NetBSD on each).

2 networked Tivos (4 total). -- I used to play around with the Linux code on these back when they first came out.

Two iPods -- old 10GB, new 40GB. Both used to transport code.

Two 128MB PQI iStick USB drives. Kept in wallet.

An Empeg (my car stereo; built-in Ethernet, has web server and telnet client running on it. I've been meaning to port nmap to it)

An Apple //e, with a custom PF and IDE interface, a hardcard, an 80-column card, 128kB memory expansion, CP/M card, serial card.

An Apple ][+.

An Amiga 1200 with PCMCIA Ethernet card.

An Atari 1200XL (serial-connected).

Most Cisco gear, commercial firewalls, and so forth I have ready access to at work, or through professional contacts (or I simply have past work experience with them). I went through the "I want used commercial gear in my home" phase with tons (almost literally) of Gandalf gear, Cisco kit, Sun and SGI hardware, etc. I ended up giving it away and throwing the rest out. If I don't have a use for it/need for it, I probably don't have the space or time for it, either.

Then there's the EE lab at work. I won't go into detail on that here.

I do not have a lab setup at the moment; but I do have plans to get a few of the Dell PowerEdge 400SC servers and set them up as various boxes.

Since getting MSCE and MSCA is expensive; I'll buy 5-6 of the machines and get to work. I'll put Unix on one.

I also want to get one machine to run IPCop or such and act as a firewall with a few different zones.

Run it all into a 16-port managed switch perhaps.

I'll play with Cisco stuff at school and at work.
