    Hello Jason,

     I suggest looking for vulnerabilities like the other poster
     suggested, and here is a paper on information gathering, rootkits,
     and many other topics of interest.

     http://www.governmentsecurity.org/forum/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=1794

     As everyone else has already stated I would move this to an isolated
     network instead of the university network (just kinda a CYOA thing).

     Have fun!

     Jeff
