Hardware
I finally came to a conclusion why I could not get everything on my HackLab to work. It’s because I’m using spare parts out of my garage that don’t work. I’ve gone through two hard drives already. The PS/2 ports on my motherboard don’t work. I’m sure there’s got to be other things wrong with it all. I can’t get SVN and Metasploit to work. So I took the same ISO I’ve been using, and ran it in Qemu on one of my computers at home, and both SV and Metasploit work fine straight off the ISO.
Next week I’m retiring our Mail Server, so I’m holding off on this project until then. One the new mail service is up and running and I’m certain all e-mails are present and accounting for, I’ll start again. The good news is I can copy the VM’s I’ve made, so I could potentially get the HackLab up and running in a couple of hours. So keep checking back, and I’ll let you know when we’re ready to test this new service.
