I have to agree. Your 22 air rifle will be useless against their advanced technology. You better just wait for the MIB backup to come with their "noisy cricket". 

Hmm... I have this odd craving to go crack some WEP. 

Just sucks that this is one of those bulky looking adapters. I can't stand those. I much prefer something internal and out of the way. Yo, Kev.. are there no pcmcia adapters that you know of which can compete with this USB adapter you've told us about?

Thanks!

It's about the same where I am in Western Canada. We have a total of one Con here. CanSecWest which is about $2000 though. Doesn't look nearly as exciting as DefCon, ChicagoCon, or BlackHat Briefings though. 

I agree. A+ is usually every techie's first cert.  It's well worth if if you're starting out. Most companies have this as a basic requirement or a requirement to obtain within 6mths of employment.

I'm not sure what kind of firewall your classmates will be using, BUT... I would make use of the suggestion to spoof an email from your instructure and add on to that.  I would make the email come from your instructure and send it out to all your classmates except for the 2 who you think are experienced.  In this email, I would send an attachment or a link to an AV app (with your trojan embedded).  Make the email sound good, something about him suggesting they use this specific AV/Firewall.  You get the idea. From here you're bound to have at least one person install the trojan and you're in.

LOL  That's funny cause it's true.. 

Us guys desperately trying to break into the InfoSec world really need all the freebies we can get. 

Wow!  Pseudo, you look just like that Halle Berry chick!    Congrats!

So, who were the lucky winners of this awesome giveaway?

Oops.. (tired)  I mean, you've earned it.    Have fun!

Wow!  Congrats, guys!  You've heard it.

WiFu sounds like an awesome course! 

Wow! d'Otreppe actually designed this course too.. 

I can only imagine how good this course will be since it's designer is also the creater of aircrack.  sweeeeeeeeeet!

Anyways, I'm sure OSWP will be a great cert to obtain if you're into wifi security.  Can't wait to hear more about it.

Hey maksimu,

Looks like you've been given pretty good advise to get yourself started with this project of yours. You said you're new to this so I thought I would suggest you google for an exploit or vuln on whatever version of FTP, SSH, etc.. that you find through your nmap scan. You can also search with your results via Metasploit, mimlw0rm or a number of other exploit publishing sites.

Good luck!
