Beta Testers .... Free Servers ... Maybe


Recommended Posts

Hey All,

 

So I have been invited to Beta test some cloud offerings from a relatively large hosting company. I have logged in and been mucking around with the server setups etc. Whilst this is in Beta its free of charge to me. I have a Linux VM sat here but the thing is I don't know what I can do with it. 

 

Any suggestions and I will do it.

 

I am currently asking if there AUP would be OK with me running a TOR exit node.

 

Suggestions? 

 

Maybe we could get some tests going with other Neowin users. It has a UK IP so maybe if anyone wants to help me set up a proxy to test things with PM Me. They recon the beta will last till the end of December.

how much space does it come with, setup your own cloud like owncloud or something.

 

See I have all that stuff elsewhere thats the trouble, I have one configured with only 20gb at the min I am playing with but I can increase it. 

I will help out if you want

 

pm me and let me know what you wanna do :)

 

Cool! Ok well lets see if anyone comes up with some novel things to do with it. I want to try a Tor exit note but never really wanted the chew that comes along with it. Maybe we could set up a Proxy for people to access stuff. That might be quite cool. Maybe some nice monitoring as well so we can see what people are trying to access.

whats always fun is honeypot.. I ran one of my vps as that for a while.. Fun to watch what they do. But went back to just using it as test box when I need it and vpn if I need traffic to come from that part of the US, I can query dns from it or with it, etc. its a $15 lowend vps - its great to just have a shell, vpn, etc.

What software would you recommend as a honeypot, I have fail2ban installed that works quite well.
