    Consider giving the following security based live CDs a look.

    Auditor http://www.remote-exploit.org (check the research blog also)
    WHoppix http://www.whoppix.net (nice flash based demos as well)
    Phlak http://www.phlak.org

    These should have many of the tools that you will need to get started.
