So build yourself a "snapshot" that suits you; test it according to the
needs of *your* environment. If you are unwilling/unable to do so,
arrange for someone else to do it for you. It's possible that someone
would volunteer to expend his or her time and other resources to do this
for you for free, out of gratitude for something, or some such thing;
more likely, the person would request some form of compensation.

This has been gone over before, and I'm not going to spam the -security
list further on the topic.
