Right on. I have an old desktop I'll load Ubuntu on and tinker with Linux.

Hello,
New guy here, referred by some folks on Reddit. Recently, a department where I work is opening up to digital forensics and ethical hacking. I'm interested in ethical hacking enough to make it a career. Currently, I'm studying to take ECCouncil's Certified Ethical Hacker exam. I believe by the time the position is open, I'll have passed the test. Nonethless, my hands-on experience is lacking. I've read through some threads here and it seems like ethical hacking may be more of capitilizing on a hobby rather than a trade I could pick up within 6-12 months. Regardless, I'm willing to learn, try, and keep motivated. My question to you guys is if you may provide any tools I can put this theory to the test on, or books I could read, or other websites that would help me learn.
Thanks in advance!
Please Provide Tools On Becoming An Ethical Hacker

Alright, I just spoke with the lead from the security response team and he stated the GAIC test is better than the CEH--I guess this explains why people laugh at the CEH, as a simple brain-dump study guide will get you passed.
Thanks for the suggestions so far guys: I've installed Linux, am looking into other certs concerning hacking, and am keeping myself involved in the latest hacking programs. Thanks so far, and feel free to keep adding suggestions!
