ive been looking for a link where i can buy a backtrack3 live cd, since i have such slow internet in iraq. i havent had any luck. can anyone help me out? i need one that will ship to an APO address. thanks alot guys

cool thanks guys. when ever i get my hands on some sort of linux ill be able to explore with that some more.

ok cool. i will see if i can figure out how to gain accesss to the cam table. is there any way to change the mac on vista so i can test it out? and you said that the mac only works when the attacking machine is in the same sumnet as you, so when you say rogue mac address are you saying that mac is masked? thanks dude

sorry for the long post. hopefully it dosnt discourage anyone from helping me out. thanks alot.



so ive been given some recourses to study and get started on ethical hacking. ive been reading up on the tcp/ip guide and been checking out other stuff to get started on pen testing. and ive be using VMWare ESXi on my other laptop to simulate a network. ive been told that hackers leave a trace with there mac address, making changing your ip pointless if youre trying to be stealth im guessing. i checked out how to change my mac address and some places say you cant becuase the driver wont let me on windows vista. and some say that you can. ive tried through regedt32, i enabled and disabled my NIR, and rebooted. the mac still has not changed. how would i bypass what ever it is that my driver wont let me do? and how would i find out who was trying to get in my simulated network? also if someone were to change/spoof there mac address, how would i find out who they acually are? or would they be completely anonymous? thanks alot.

thanks man. my internet is too slow to download backtrack but i can try somewere else on base. what are the advantages of using backtrack as aposed to linux being a beginer? thanks again

is ftp obsolete right now or can we still hack with it? if we can still hack with it can somebody give me some good recourses to check out? and dose anybody have a good download site for linux? 

thanks alot for the help guys. i will for sure have some questions and i will definatly be busy with the sources you gave me.

my internet is very slow cuz im stationed in iraq right now but i will try and find a way to download backtrack3 and check out theacademypro.com. thanks man

i learned C from some tutorials and i know how to read assembly language, but i dont really know how to apply either. its pretty tough to apply this stuff with out any help. i want to do all types of hacking. i dont want to limit my self to one aspect. although penetration testing stands out to me. but i understand that there is alot that i need to learn before i do certain things. what do you think the best place to start out would be? and thanks for the post by the way.

i want to learn how to hack. not to do any harm or anything illigal. it is just interesting to me and i love to gain knowlege. i have looked through hundreds of tutorials but the only ones that i can find are out dated. if anybody can give me some tutorials or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appriciated. thanks
