Commview escaped my notice and looks worth while checking out. Thanks for the posting Vector.

I take it the hak5 community has officially put its hand up to help poor little Ubuntu girl out? Great I will swing by her facebook profile to give her the heads up. =P In all seriousness though googling for some things can be a right royal sod due to the amount of crap you have to read before you find that proverbial gold. sometimes the lazy solution works a treat but with that said the topic this thread is based on has been covered to the extent where it is virtually click next next next and WOW free internetz!

I lold, remote exploit are not nearly as forgiving with somethings as the folks in here. I must admit I had a few headaches trying to get it all working a while back when I first had a crack at it. So from one n00b to another use the guide I wrote which can be found at http://animeyakuza.freeforums.org/newbies-...-wif00-t68.html Its a little old but it should have everything you need on it and in the worst case scenario feel free to ask away. Hope it helps.

Damn Iocu that's a nice list to have on the resume. Well done!

hahaha paper clip, That's actually a really good idea especially for removing stuck CD/DVD's and when the power/reset button gets stuck on older computers. You have convinced me to add that to the tool kit.

Well i wouldn't call it a back pack its more one of them boarder line metro sexual looking man bags but hey that's the way Playstation made em. I only got it for the PS logo...... I promise =P - Asus EEE 701 and charger. - USB (backtrack, Switch blade and Orphcrack. - Ipod + charger - 500gb external Hard drive. - Cat cable. - Assortment of linux live CD's. - Cell. - Ciggas. - Redbull. - Note pad and pen. - Mini Tool kit.

Props to the O.P for an excellent question and the same goes for all those who are currently working in the industry who gave an insightful insight/recommendations. I am currently studying for my advanced diploma in networking/security and after reading the above I am seriously considering going for my A+ and putting my hand up for some voluntary work to gain further know how. So yeah thanks everyone once again for giving a n00b some direction.
