Malware / hack lab?

[pj_mcgarvey at hotmail.com (PJ McGarvey)]

I picked up a newish HP Pavilion laptop, dual core, 4GB ram, Gigabit NIC, esata/firewire ports, but no hdd or ac 
adapter from Ebay a few months back for $100 because the screen was broken.  This is currently a TVersity media server 
on my network, but I'm working on getting ESX 3.5 on it so I can run some virtual machines (there were issues with ESX 
detecting the nic...)

 

Not an ideal box for this purpose, but I picked it so it can fit on a shelf in my relatively small home office... it's 
quiet, not power hungry and the price was right!

 

Also... SANS is offering a free Lenovo laptop if you take their OnDemand training by 4/15, I'm signing up soon for the 
Web App course, might be a good excuse to take some training and get a free laptop for your lab.
