People getting into the information security field needs a lot of patience from thyself. Learn everything they want on their own to get job done. Hacking your institution is not fair. It is not even where you get that values either :-). If you really want to delve into the infosec you have to use your imagination always. No one is spoon fed here. If you have friends willing to work and discover the secrets of security then mingle with them. You can even make a single computer into two or even more it depends to the hardware specification. Go get some practice at home not at your university. Hope it helps. - Sparc Unix philosophy - K I S S ( Keep It Simple Stupid :-) )

To the community, I know this is more than likely uncommon for one to post, but here we go.. My name is Joe Marinaccio, and I'm in my first year at Vatterott. I'm working on a B.S. Degree in Network Engineering. I'm very fascinated by Information Security, and countermeasures to prevent attacks from within, as well as from the outside. I'm new to a lot of aspects posted in your mailings, but I try to do my part in researching to understand topics discussed. My question is, I would like to do an outside project relating to security, simulating a real world situation, in the classroom. At school, we are on a windows 2000 professional LAN. The students all have "limited" account privileges. We use a virtual drive ran off the server, along with our own local drive on our machine. Also, we share a local printer. If need be, I can give further details of the network. I would like to get input from the nmap community, maybe some insight, on different ways I could compromise security, and gain root or admin rights. That is my goal or "purpose". I plan to record each step I take along the way, and also, list all resources and utilities I may have used to aid me. Then to finish it off, I plan on making a report consisting of countermeasures an admin could take to prevent this same form of attack. I feel this would go very well in my personal portfolio, when presenting to a potential employer. I'm not asking for someone to do the work for me, rather, just to give me some insight. I'm willing to totally do my part, but any help or advice would be greatly appreciated... Thanking you in advance, Joe Marinaccio _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev
