One I like to use is http://www.networksecuritytoolkit.org/nst/ it is based
on RH9 and comes with loads of tools inc ethereal, nmap, nessus etc. It also
has some wireless tools and has a web based GUI to be used remotely or from
the local machine using firefox
Check it out, It has helped me out on numerous occasions.
Cheers
Mike West

One more thing I forogt to put in my last post. Someone mentioned
PHLAK, which is a great bootable Linux CD. I'd also like to recommend
a couple of others, Auditor
(http://www.remote-exploit.org/?page=auditor) and Knoppix-STD
(http://www.knoppix-std.org/). My favorate of the two is Auditor,
moslty because it seems to be the most up to date and works with the
most hardware. All these CD's are free and are great for running
Linux tools on pretty much any machine. Auditor is probably also the
most user friendly for those who have never used Linux before.
Laters,

of books, mailing lists, and training courses, i also stumbled once on
a hacker group that would let you joing if you solve a puzzle, some
