Read, Google. Security updates, exploits, etc.

I doubt you will get any specific advice here, your post sounds very
much to me like you're trying to crack a server you don't actually
own.

Good Luck, Have Fun.

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
