Since I will be rolling out a network, I would like to seek some technical info from you guys.

I have secured my LAN simulator (LAN laboratory)with all my knowledge . I believe it was secured. Tested it with softwares such as port scanner, netbios and etc. and it worked fine.

May some of you out there who could advise me to test my network thoroughly. Please inform me of how do you test your network security.

I am using w2k server with w2k pro clients, How can i hack my server? can youshow me some of those complex tricks.

Don't worry I am applying this for edu-tainment as well as helping me with my job.

Testing your own design is like proof reading your own documents. It just does not work as well as you would like.

Have your company hire an outside security consultant or firm to test your design. Having no preconceived notions about the design, it well be stressed and probed in a variety of ways based upon the wealth of experience and expertise these guys acquire.

You will gain specific knowledge about the gaps in your design and approaches to closing them. An excellent learning tool, and probably cheaper and more effective than any formal training.
