Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-04-17 16:34:44 UTC
Hello all,

I don't know if you follow the security mailing lists, but in the last six months I made an incredible work with fuzzing (https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/advisories/ ) discovering dozens of CVEs.
For some reasons I don't have anymore the machines I used in the past.

I asked to prometheanfire, which said that we have a credit from rackspace and he can provide me a machine.

The purpose of this machine is for fuzzing, so to improve the security of some opensource projects.

Thanks

What sort of specifications do you need on the system?

CPU: speed & count (and any specific extensions)
RAM: size
Disk: (size, type)
Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-04-19 14:33:50 UTC
I talked about that with Mattew and I forgot to mention them here.

CPU: at least 8core, 16 would be better
RAM: 8GB
DISK: 50GB

Thanks.

Rackspace hosted option.

| general1-8 | 8 GB General Purpose v1 | 8192 | 160 | 0 | 8 | N/A |

8G ram, 160G disk, 8 cpu

Costs, ~220 a month

This has my ack, both as infra and foundation

+1 on that system, esp if ago spins it down when it's not in use (give him an easy way to power up again).

Ago's stopped his fuzzing projects: https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2020/04/16/why-i-stopped-fuzzing-research/
