There's an MIT class, Network and Computer Security, that has all its problem sets online... a good thing to make you think about some basic theory would be to go through them, write up a page on each, like the students do, and compare to the answers the TAs and prof came up with.
This may not be what you're looking for; I find the questions interesting, and plan on taking the class sometime in the next couple years.
The best thing about it is the multiple inputs... you've got your main computer hooked up as a multi-head display, but if you need, you switch your left panel to the server's console, or your right to your linux machine's video out, or DVD. It's too bad they didn't incorporate a nice keyboard/mouse switcher, but a cheap Cybex box would do it. Hmm, I wonder if my lab would get one for research purposes.
