Ludus and GOAD Pentest Environment
About This home pentesting environment can come at a small price point, smaller than I originally thought I would need. You can find mini-pcs pretty cheap on eBay or on Facebook Marketplace in some cases. Just upgrade them a bit with more memory and potentially more storage, and you’re set.
