hmmm, 1.101 may be referring to either your attacker IP or one of the targets.  The De-Ice labs I have from the book are 1.100, 1.110, 2.100.    Ok so each lab gives you the setup needed for the attacker system (BT) and the target (De-Ice ISO image).  The De-Ice system is typically matched up to the number of the lab (192.168.1.100).  You need to configure your attacking system accordingly.  My 1.100 image has the following open:

Enjoy!

yeah the videos might be sligthly newer than the book or vice versa.  The book goes along well with the labs and that's how I've been using them.  I may fire that one up after I am done with my current read/lab combo. 

im really sorry i typed the ncrack command wrongly here is the correct one :
Ncrack -v --user <username> <target's ip><port>

Yeah can i use the dvd without the book? The book is so boring

Just found this thread, and wanted to try and fill in the gaps regarding my book and the videos present in it...

IP address:
The De-ICE disks were designed to simply give a challenge of attacking a system. Because of the IP address and number of protocols available on the target systems, you can look at them theoretically as internal systems. However, I wanted those people using them to worry less about the network configuration, and more about the process of information gathering, vulnerability identification, etc. I also wanted to make them based on misconfiguration instead of exploitable applications, so that people would quit thinking pentesting was simply launching autopwn and rooting.

Videos:
The videos came first, the book second. Although the videos in the book are still valid and useful, they come from the Heorot.net training program, which has now migrated over the HackingDojo.com. To keep things in perspective, the videos in the book could be considered v1, while the Dojo material has evolved to about v4. Currently, for the same level of training in the book, there is about 10 hours of video training at the Hacking Dojo. In addition, there is a lot more hands-on activity at the Dojo as well, plus we have live sessions at the Dojo... much more evolved than what's in the book.

De-ICE 1.101:
This image has not been released to the public, and is accessible only for students of HackingDojo.com (and heorot.net beforehand). It is used as a method of testing a student (along with a written exam) to see if they have absorbed and can demonstrate the appropriate knowledge to move onto the 2D Nidan level of training. Consequently, there is a De-ICE 2.101 disk as well that again has not been released to the public, and is used by students to test out of the 2D class onto the 3D.

Hopefully that helps answer some of your questions. Now that I know that this thread is here, I will monitor it in case anyone else has questions about my book or the videos.

Yeah, feel free to use the 1.110 as a target. It doesn't track the same, but the concepts of the methodology are identical.

I don't have any additional videos of the online lab, since it can fluctuate in its design. On an unrelated note,I have to admit it's fun watching what people do in the lab - as an example, I mention to students they should try to be like surgeons, and conduct surgical strikes... but they come in carpet bombing the targets.  But that comes with time.

Feel free to hit me up with any other questions you might have. Enjoy!

If you're new to this, you should expect to struggle for the first few attempts. As you progress you'll start to learn what to look for and things will become a little easier. There will always be some degree of trial and error, especially when you get to more challenging machines, but there's no substitute for experience and lots of practice.

You do have a few options you can get some cheap kit on ebay and setup a router. or you coudl take a look at http://www.gns3.net/

That will come in handy. Some attacks require you to analyze network traffic (fuzzing, man-in-the-middle, etc), and having a solid understanding of networks will help you when it comes time to pivot through internal networks.
