Title: Hack-able Boot-able CD?
Post by: brianW85428 on October 26, 2008, 10:53:30 PM
Is there anything like a bottable CD, that you can ether install or boot to practice hacking?
Like a windows disk that has problems wrong with it that you can exploit and then fix? That would be so great.
Any other practice hacking advice?

I would have thought that an unpatched copy of windows would have heaps that you could play with?

If it's bootable CDs you're looking for, then Linux is your only option. There's always things like BartPE or other ways to boot to a Windows environment, but probably not what you want in a pen testing lab. VMware has some images that include versions of Windows, but with licensing issues, they're not unlimited.

Chan's suggestion is a good one.

Brian also makes a good point. Install Windows with no patches especially SP1, and it should be ready to hack immediately after install.
