      @IRJ - Perhaps you could create a thread on the progress of your attacks to each victims vm

        My "Home Lab" right now is a Vultr account. Really is cheaper than paying for the power, and I don't want to listen to something else when it gets hot in my tiny efficiency apartment. My desktop at home was custom built with an eye to keeping it quiet, even during the summer. (Lots of large fans and a temperature based fan controller.)

        What do you end of spending a month?

          Again, just getting started:

          0_1488407461949_Home Lab.JPG

          Plan on installing NethServer onto the CentOS server, along with creating a Kali Linux box, an Ubuntu desktop box, and a FreePBX box. Also downloaded Wazo. I'll go and explore that one later.

            Used to be $5-$10 a month, depending if I was running 1 or 2 instances. Couldn't even match the power bill at that rate for a server box.

              Interesting. So I should just spend the money? I have been trying about getting this:

              https://www.wholesaleinternet.net/cart/?id=281

              CentOS 7 and KVM I should be able to do quite a bit 🙂

              It's $360 a year. Worth it?

                At $1/day, that's very tempting.

                Do you have any experience with Whole Sale Internet?

                      My DL380 costs ~$10 per month to run in electricity.

                        Moved all my stuff very rapidly to the new homemade rack in the crawlspace with my wife hassling me the whole time; apparently our kids bedtime is more important than server stuff... who knew? Eventually I'll make it back down and hook up the rest of my ethernet runs and do some much nicer cable management. Everything, sans DL360 and switch, used to be in this tiny little cubby under my fireplace (that has never been used in the 6 years that we've been living here)

                        Currently running XS7.3 (can't wait for XCP-ng). I wanted to go with KVM on Fedora for the hypervisor but I have a toddler and infant that pretty much consume all of my home time, so I went with what I know for now.

                        HP DL360 G7 (8x 146GB RAID10, 2x E5649, 24GB RAM)
                        Synology DS213j (2x4TB)
                        Dell 2824 Switch, hand me down from work
                        Ubiquiti ERX
                        Philips Hue Bridge
                        Zoom Cable Modem
                        Eaton 5S550 UPS (shows ~48 Min battery life with everything you see connected)
                        Not Shown: (1) UAP-AC-LR

                                  wish I had a crawlspace for something like this. I have an attic crawlspaces and it get way to hot in the summer in there for equipment

                                    We built a custom room for it.

                                      We've thought about converting our second closet in the master bedroom into a small media room for this kind of stuff.

                                        It's a great way to go. Take the effort to sound proof, too.

                                          When we first moved in after we bought our house we couldn't have put electronics, or anything really, down there. We're in Michigan and it was super nasty in the crawl, freezing cold in the winter and super wet in the summer, not to mention the 4 billion spiders. We sealed off the vents to the outside and completely encapsulated it. Now it stays around 60 degrees and the relative humidity is right around 50%. My son actually likes to play down there now.

                                            So I'm curious... Who is doing on premise home labs these days in 2020? I have an R710 that I use for Plex, and other projects. But recently acquired and R630. Maybe its time for an upgrade.
