Icarus is my main box, as you can see im in need of a major upgrade - lets hope Fall '06. Helios is my mobile pentesting/messing around box. The duel wireless and triple ethernet cards come in handy for playing around with network stuff, need 802.11a/g hardware to have some real fun though. And Daedaluss my Snort Inline IDS / File Server.  Now I know your asking youself "Why does he have an IDS and a File Server on the same box". And to be honest i don't have a good reason, really its because I ran out of usable machines. So if you want to donate some to help me out, consider it a tax write off.

 

Update: Daedalus is no longer a IDS/NFS box. It was just sitting there and besides serving a small amount of stuff wasn't of much use. So now that VMware Server is free I figured it was a good time to play with virtulization, which is BA by the way. So a qucik reformat and stage 1/3 later I've got a kick ass VMware server box running as of right now a Gentoo DNS/NIS server. Next step is a OpenBSD platform probably running Apache and then another Gentoo box running MySQL for Apache. We will see as I get more time.


What holds this all together is a mesh of Cat5e and radio signals in the 2.4GHz range (thats 802.11 for you people in Rio Linda).  Its all 100MB Full Duplex cause gigabit is a bit out of my price range at the moment, but its heading in that direction. I might go fullout and just go to fiber if i can find a switch.
