Palemoon,
Thanks for that great information, however, I think I may I have misrepresented myself. So I don't get a bad warp on here right away, let me explain. I've always had an interest in computer security, but being busy, I have not had the time to explore it. I am currently a Jr. at a 4 year University and studying IS. Hopefully to eventually get masters in CS.

Anyways, in addition to the servers I have at my house, I also have a couple of servers at my co-workers house. He is fully aware of what I am trying do and has given me the ok to do whatever I may need to his systems, (just as long as I dont harm anything).

I currently have basic knowledge of C++/Linux/Java but am also starting to learn TCP/IP, using the book TCP/IP Illustarted. So, in conclusion, the only reason I asked this question was to learn. Thats my reason for being on here. I'm certinaly not out to hack any computer systems illegally! I acutally have asperations to work in the security filed once I graduate (I've gotta get out of the web development stuff!!).

Hope this more clearly represents me

Thanks
