Description: I wanted to make a small portable lab for malware analysis on the go, but let's be honest, I'm gonna use it for CTF competitions in the end. Had some old machines lying around and thought that "meh, it won't be too expensive to build the rest" yet here we are. All 3 pi's + lenovo machines are run off of 2x 200w 6-port USB chargers along with the ubiquiti express 01, with the switch being connected to the power strip at the bottom. I have 3 jetkvm's in place, 1 for rpi master, and 1 for each of the lenovo machines.
only a few modifications were made to the hardware, but I managed to figure out that if I stripped the front and back plate of the Lenovo M90n-1 machines, I was able to fit two of them in a single 1u space. The custom mount is linked below.
The plan is to have the Master Pi run different sandboxes for automatic malware analysis, with the lenovo machines acting as physical hardware that can be factory reset/reimaged after each run for clean non sandboxed hardware. Network traffic will be dumped for analysis as well.
All 3d prints were made in ABS-GF, which adds to the "Happy being done" factor. As I no longer have to endure the smell of ABS (proper ventilation, but the smell was still strong).
All of it was installed in the Rackmate T1 case from Deskpi.
