Re[2]: Intro To Hacking

["Jeffrey S. Sims" <sims () interex org>]

Hello Jason,

 I suggest looking for vulnerabilities like the other poster
 suggested, and here is a paper on information gathering, rootkits,
 and many other topics of interest.

 As everyone else has already stated I would move this to an isolated
 network instead of the university network (just kinda a CYOA thing).

 Have fun!

 Jeff
