Pentesting Dedicated Bare metal for pentests
A whole machine to yourself: no neighbours, no shared kernel, no hypervisor between you and the hardware. Scanning and scraping are allowed by policy, the box sits on an isolated network segment, and the serial console and power control in the panel get you back in at 3 a.m. without opening a ticket.

02Performance
Single tenant, scanning allowed
Every core, all the memory and the whole uplink belong to one customer. Nothing is shared or oversold.
All cores yours
No steal time and no noisy neighbour: a wide scan gets the whole CPU, around the clock.
Labs on one box
Run Proxmox or your own KVM stack and keep attacker and target VMs on one machine.
Your own tooling
Custom kernels, raw sockets, packet capture: install whatever the engagement needs, as root.
Full-disk encryption
Captures and client data stay on drives that only you use, encrypted if you like.
03Platform
What you actually get
Scanning is allowed
zmap, masscan and wide probing are permitted against systems you are authorised to test.
Isolated network segment
Your traffic sits apart from regular customer ranges, so your scans never taint someone else's reputation.
ECC memory
Every build runs ECC memory, and the table lists the cores and threads of each machine, so you can size a scan job before you order.
Local disks
Results and captures stay on the machine's own drives. The table lists their type and size.
Console and power control from day one
An out-of-band serial console and power control in the panel, at no extra cost.

Support that knows what a scan window is, on Discord, Telegram and email at any hour.
