My favourite is whoppix, another knoppix variant that has a large body of exploits included. www.whoppix.net And the site even has some nice demos to get you going :) Regards David Taylor -----Original Message----- From: xyberpix [mailto:xyberpix () xyberpix com] Sent: Wednesday, 15 December 2004 4:00 AM To: Chris Benedict Cc: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Re: delving deeper 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. xyberpix On Mon, 13 December, 2004 10:34 pm, Chris Benedict said:
Hi, I've been looking at security and penetration-testing for some time now and would like to get further into it. I'd like to learn more about penetration-testing, forensics, techniques for network exploration/mapping, web application security and incedent handling. However I'm not really sure where to start, I looked at the OSSTMM and it was above my head. At the moment I have a very limited budget and only a few spare low-end computers. If it matters, I'm mainly running OpenBSD. Are there any particular books or other media that I should take a look
at?
Any thoughts or recommendations are welcomed and greatly appreciated. -Chris Benedict
