Anatomy of a Hack
Tiberius_Fel writes "Informit.com is running an extensive article about the anatomy of a hack against a sample network. It's an excerpt from a book titled Protect Your Windows Network: From Perimeter to Data. Even though it makes references to Windows, the techniques can be applied to other operating systems fairly easily." From the article: "Although attacking networks can be fun and informative--not to mention illegal if you do not have all the proper permissions--the fact remains that the vast majority of us do not need to know how to do so. Frankly, becoming a good penetration tester (pen tester) takes more than a week-long class. It takes commitment, dedication, intuition, and technical savvy, not to mention a blatant disregard for the rules and the right way to do things."
Shut it off.
heh heh heh, he said "penetration testing", heh heh heh

Man! Things were so much easier back in my day. Just do what my friends did.

"Since any competent pen tester (or system administrator) with a need for these types of tools can write them, there is no reason for us to distribute them here."
/. before but I'm too lame to look for it.
Ah so, it is true then, Jedis do build their own light sabers.
