Hello everyone,

I am planning to study C|EH. I want to build my home lab and I have very good equipments but I need some advices from your side. As per my understanding the lab contains the following:

  • Windows server 2012
  • Windows server 2008
  • Windows 8.
  • Windows 7.
  • Backtrack
  • Kali
Any other software?

I have three HP servers and I installed ESXi 5.5 on them and I created some VMs. Anyone can help me to know the roles of each VM? Like:
  • Why I need to use windows 2012?
  • When to use windows 2008?
  • Shall I enable AD on both of them?
  • One domain or two different domains?
  • IIS?
  • Software should be installed on any OS.
  • Shall I install exchange server or no? and if it is required on which server I should install?
  • etc.
I have some Cisco switches and routers, so if somebody knows the network diagram for the lab please share it with me.
Please if you have some info about the setup of the lab or any helpful note, reply to me.

    What ever you do, keep us updated. I am looking to start down the CEH trail. But I want to at the very least get my CCENT before diving into it.

    Absolute overkill in my opinion. Maybe use a Kali VM, one Metasploitable or Damn Vulnerable Linux along with a Windows host.

    I haven't searched but I'm positive there are a few 'CEH lab' threads here. You may want to look at those.
