Chris: the tone of your original message was "I want to learn do this because it's cool". That spells trouble in my book. The people who break into most systems aren't professional criminals who want to steal secrets they are hobbyists who do it to prove it can be done and "because it is cool". They want to show off. Yes it is a crime to break into someone else's system..even "for fun" and "to prove it can be done". The penalities are becoming more severe with the attention to world events. Here's a story that appeared a few days ago you might want to look at: http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/tech/news/1507766 If you want to learn programming and security do it the right way...go to school and learn it, not "on the streets". --Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
