as for delving deeper.. there's a distribution out that is
specifically geared to computer forensics, and recovery. It's called
Helix < http://www.e-fense.com/helix/ >. Very much worth a look. Has
wifi capabilities, kismet, and all the other nifty tools...
"Helix is used by SANS for training in Track 8: System Forensics,
Investigation and Response."

Hi Chris,
Go and download a copy of PHLAK(http://www.phlak.org), there's a load of
good docs on the disc, and some really good tools to get you going. Above
it all it's Linux, so it should run on your machines.
Aside from that scour the net for anything pertaining to pen testing and
security, and read as much as you can possibly tollerate, it'll be worth
it in the end.

Hi, I've been looking at security and penetration-testing for some
time now and would like to get further into it. I'd like to learn
more about penetration-testing, forensics, techniques for network
exploration/mapping, web application security and incedent handling.
However I'm not really sure where to start, I looked at the OSSTMM and
it was above my head.
At the moment I have a very limited budget and only a few spare
low-end computers. If it matters, I'm mainly running OpenBSD. Are
there any particular books or other media that I should take a look at?
Any thoughts or recommendations are welcomed and greatly appreciated.
