    Download a copy of Knoppix STD from http://www.knoppix-std.org/ Lets you
    boot from a CD on any computer to run in a true Linux environment. Knoppix
    STD is loaded with hundreds of tools ready to use. Reboot without the disk
    and you're back to your normal OS.

    Good luck ...

    Run over to insecure.org and look at all the tools. Pen-test is like
    controlled hacking...there is no "exactly how to do it manual" and to
    tell you the truth, there really shouldn't be one.

    Read, read read....and then..do do do in a controlled world. Reading
    everything in sight can get you to the door with the information but
    only "doing" can step you into the other room.
