That is a great suggestion.  Why is snmp vulnerable before patching with the 
following?

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-074
Vulnerability in SNMP Could Allow Remote Code Execution (926247)

Tacking on something to what Jerome's posting - 

Another perspective may be to try to get the list to focus more on 'why'
questions in contrast to 'how' questions. 

How questions are good, but why questions tend to lend information that
the end user could learn from. 

Can anyone point me to a resource that would help me gain access to an
xp machine that is running automatic updates (my vm).

If the computer is running automatic updates you will probably have to
have an unpublished vulnerability, or try to look for ways the computer
was setup by the administrator that may lend to remote access . (eg
default or null passwords etc).

ImmunitySec has a good resource for vulnerability sharing that isn't
shared with the public at large, but I doubt that is what you are
looking for.

 I cant seem to do it one the lan any way other than to use a trojan
and what would be to point of pen testing a system if the only way in is
 via trojan; thats standard seucrity, dont run programs from email,
blah blah blah...


What about installing a few different revisions of XP on your vmware
lab.
      XP SP0
      XP SP1
      XP SP2

Or organize your vm sessions by each monthly patch to test specific
vulnerabilities that you have exploits for.
