Virtual Network

Hello everyone,
Its been a few days since I started this post. At this present time I am studying for the Network+ certification. I am going through a Network+ book at the moment written by Mike Myers. Its a really good book. I highly recommend it for those looking to take the test. I don't plan on taking the test just yet. I should be scheduling for the test at the end of next month or so. Anyway, my main reason for posting this new entry is because I want to mention my project I will be working soon. I will be creating a virtual network for the next few days. I've had the idea for a while now, but I haven't gotten around to starting it yet. I've seen demonstrations of this on several security podcasts on how to create your own virtual network. Recently I read a post from SynJunkie describing his current virtual network setup. His description was very well done.

Currently I have VMware Workstation configured on my main Quadcore Desktop with 8GB of RAM and plenty of drive space. This system is used for a lot at the moment. I just need to spend some time reconfiguring my VM's to resemble a fully functional network. This will help me along with my Network+ studies and also help me delve deeper into computer security. I will be learning more about using metasploit and other tools to test the network and my skills as I put it together. I will post updates with network diagrams as I progress. L8r
