This is where you guys come in.

Well,  since it sounds to me like you are missing some of the point behind
that class, I suggest
you do some general research on various websites, Google etc., and then come
back here and ask
more specific questions, instead of asking us to do all of your homework for
you.

Then we'll be happy to help you solve your mysteries.

I'll give you a strong hint, though. You want to know how to break in to the
other guys' networks.
Well, I guess you have first secured your own network. Ask yourself this:

1. How did I secure my network?
2. Why did I secure it with <whatever>? (or: what did I secure it against?)

The result follows.  (as so many textbooks annoyingly put it).

Cheers,
Anders :)
