Agreed with 3xban.

It almost sounded, from your last reply, Ps_107, that you're thinking more in terms of a CHFI (Hacking Forensics), rather than an ethical hacker/ penetration tester.  There are occasions when a person will do both, but more often, there are those that specialize in each area, and you'd be best served, as 3xban noted, in talking to someone closer to you, who might be able to advise you which route you're really looking to pursue.

Good luck, and keep us posted.

Although I knew that forensics work is completely different than conducting a Pen-Test, I had no idea those were two totally separate fields.

I always figured that a Pen-tester would be able to do both and that's exactly what I'm looking for right now.

I will definitely look into it.

So in terms of what I actually have control over right now, at the moment, the very best I can do is "protect" my system from any further intruders (or I can at least have some sort of an indicator of who's been in and out of my network).

I've got Wireshark all set-up but it probably would be a good idea to have a separate Intrusion Detection System to go along with it.

In you guys' opinion, would you all prefer "Snort" or "Snorby" or something else?
