protocols - ftp, pop3, 80, 8080 -
Pick some free software like ftp
server, mail server, apache or iis
webserver or a webserver all-in-
one pack, or teamspeak, ventrilo,
mumble.
7. Code a tool that uses grep to

firewall that blocks all incoming
traffic and out going traffic and
add filters to accept certain ports
that your software or scripts use.
9. Pick a kernel in linux or unix,
also pick a Microsoft OS version
lets say Winxp pro sp2 put them
on the virtual desktops (vmware)
and find and code a new local
exploit in those versions, then
install a Apache webserver on the
Linux/ Unix and a IIS webserver
on the winxp pro and attempt to
find and code a new local reverse_
tcp_shell exploit.
10. Learn Cisco Router and Switch

16. Once got access upload a shell

to gain root using a exploit you
coded not someone else s exploit.
17. Make your own Linux Distro
18. Use your own Linux Distro or
use a vanilla Linux gnome (not
kde) keep it with not much
graphics so you can learn how to
depend on the terminal and start
from scratch install applications
that you will only need for a
blackbox (Security test box), make
folders for fuzzers, exploits,
scanners..etc Then load them up
with your own scripts and other
tools ( By this stage you shouldn't
need to depend on other peoples
scripts).
19. Learn macosx and attempt to
gain access to a Macosx box
whether it be your own or
someone's else.
20. Create a secure home network

All this isn't a over night learning
it will take a nice 3 - 4 years to
learn a bit of this 5+ years to learn
most of it and even then you may
need time to keep learn as IT
keeps changing ever day.
As long as your dedicated to
learning you won't have any
problems and if you learn all that
you should easy get a job in any
company if you show proof that
you can do these things (print out
scripts that you made or put on
disc) to show the companies.
