Thanks guys, but what difference does it make if my PC is a home or office pc. The hacking methods and principles will be the same (at least I think.... I stand to be corrected!) xept that most office PCs (Servers) will be a little more protected than home pcs.

The info I need is more of an academic nature. Eg ....

"Don't leave your windows open else a burglar will come into your house......"

I'm not bothered about the burglar's reasons for comming but how he will enter might give me a better understanding of how to either catch him or prevent his entry.
