Date: Fri Jun 30 19:21:33 2006 From: Joseph.R.Reynolds at erac.com (Reynolds, Joseph R) Subject: New member asking question... Question for everyone on the board? I have been reading the posts over the past few weeks, and am wondering how the heck you guy discover these vulnerabilities. Granted, I am still very new to the IS world, but I cannot begin to understand how you discover weaknesses. After reading these posts, the explanation always makes since, but are you guys actively seeking weaknesses, or just happen to come across them? Also, are there any good "Hacking" books that I could read? I have had a Hackers Tool and Techniques class at school, but all of the programs are very outdated, like l0phtcrack, JTR, ethereal or wireshark, and such. I am looking to actually enter systems or find ways to enter systems and understand the weakness that allows it so I can avoid it later. Thanks everyone. Joseph K.
