You got that right! I PRIVATE small network which is completely isolated, or what really works nice is using VMWare on a laptop and having both the machine to hack and the one you're hacking from on that same box so you can take it with you for practicing.

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
*WRONG* decision, Jason. This is one thing you should never do. Even if the machine is yours, you are doing this under a University environment. If you have permission from the university(I doubt it), then proceed with caution. But since you are just 'beginning', I would suggest you basically hook up two computers where-ever you are and do a small network. Then from one, hack the other. Do not connect it to the university network. I like learning myself, but I wouldn't even dream of doing this in a university network, unless I'm interested in getting in trouble. Just my $0.02.
