Up in the clouds......

With all the discussion of cloud computing recently I have decided to give it a go. I'm going to sign up with the Amazon cloud service.

Since I created this blog I'm finding I need bigger and better labs to test out things like the Dan Kaminsky DNS flaw, Evilgrade and a multitude of reverse engineering tasks. I have decided that doing all of this up in the Amazon cloud gives me a huge amount of computing power for a very small price.

I'm going to get myself set up in the next few days - expect some good lab work to appear on the blog in the coming months!

I was thinking about the same thing. I have a few labs for the classes I teach that I could use the cheap horse-power to generate data for in-class labs. Please post details of your experience and type of testing your doing. I would really like to know.

Hi Thomas,

So far it has gone very well, it was extremely easy to get setup and easy to use.

I will post a blog entry tomorrow explaining what I have done, tools I have used etc.

Thanks,

Dave
