Read a comprehensive guide to FreeBSD, Apache, and PHP. For general security, Hacking Exposed 4 is decent, as is Security Warrior.

Hi,

I have built a web server and I would like to practice hacking it remotely. Are there any tutorials or a good introductory book that takes one step by step through the process of 'owning' an unsecured box? Here are the stats:

  FreeBSD 4.10 (not updated for about a month)
    Default security profile
  Apache 2
    PHP 4.3.8
    No SSI
  No firewall
  On a university network
