Well, I do own it. It would be dumb for me to ask for an intro to hacking and then make my first attempt on someone else's machine - I'd more than likely get caught.

As far as googling, google what? Even some nice keywords would help.

I doubt you will get any specific advice here, your post sounds very
much to me like you're trying to crack a server you don't actually
own.

Good Luck, Have Fun.

Hi,

I have built a web server and I would like to practice hacking it remotely. Are
there any tutorials or a good introductory book that takes one step by step
through the process of 'owning' an unsecured box? Here are the stats:

  FreeBSD 4.10 (not updated for about a month)
    Default security profile
  Apache 2
    PHP 4.3.8
    No SSI
  No firewall
  On a university network
