Hi Indian Tiger,
I have had really good luck with VMWare. It is great for setting up
various Linux/Windows platform configurations, and saving them, then
re-using them later. You will need a LOT of HD space, and a TON of RAM
for them though if you plan on setting up anything complex. I have been
able to set up entire company networks including (believe it or not)
firewalls, mail servers, clients even home-grown routers (of the linux
flavor). I can set those machines so that they have restore points, so
that anything I do to them can be undone. If you run out of RAM on the
host machine, you just get another host machine and start running more
virtual machines on it. Stick them all on a hub, and set up a separate
"test machine" on the same hub with all of your penn-test tools, and
start hammering away.
