Re: Cloud based scanner/attack platform

I do not recommend Amazon AWS for this scanning, by the way.  I use them.
 They automatically blocked port 25 against me after I did some stuff.  The
boxes are also configured to kill long running processes or processes that
consume too much of a given resource, and I can't find a way to stop that
from happening.  I need to get off my butt and move my data off their
servers so I can stop using them.

I have been using linode for such tasks for three years now "pentesting,
scanning, multi/handler...", and if no one directly complaint against you,
they do not mind.
And even when they get a complaint, they simply ask you for clarification
"in opposite to shutting you down".
All in all,  I'm quite happy with their service.

 Hello,

 First time caller, long time listener.

 Does anyone have any recommendations for a vendor that would provide a
cloud based linux VM that could be used as a scanning/attack platform?
 We're looking to do assessments on ourselves from an outside perspective
as opposed from inside our own perimeter.  Our main concerns are that the
provider won't shut us down if they see us scanning our own network
(preferably by agreement rather than by lack of monitoring on their part),
and of course, cost.   We'd may also use the system to set up mimicked
websites for phishing exercises against our staff, so we'd want to be able
to stand up websites and domain names as well.
