    Hi Chris,

    Go and download a copy of PHLAK(http://www.phlak.org), there's a load of
    good docs on the disc, and some really good tools to get you going. Above
    it all it's Linux, so it should run on your machines.
    Aside from that scour the net for anything pertaining to pen testing and
    security, and read as much as you can possibly tollerate, it'll be worth
    it in the end.
