I am curious as to what professional IA technicians use in the field that typically perform scans against large networks (ie. multiple b and c networks) use as their testing platform. I am trying to convince my senior leadership to purchase a mid sized tower with the following: a. AthlonXP64 highend cpu => 2.8Ghz or better b. 2 10/100/1000 nics c. 1-3 Gigs memory Currently we use Dell Inspirons with Pentium IVs, 1Gig of Ram and 10/100 cards, base OS is Suse. The laptops are run well but on Large scans memory is becomming an issue I am hoping to use the GigE 1000BaseT capacity if I build these machines when testing on networks that have GigE as the underlying technology. Overall if anyone can give me their experiences and recommendations it would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
