A great learning tool

I recently discovered DVL - Damn Vulnerable Linux.

It is set up with the most vulnerabilities possible, to teach you how to repair them. I believe this is a great tool.

Looks good! thanks for the post.

Yea it's pretty cool. I've tried it out and I like it actually a lot better than DSL. Also you if you have two boxes hooked up to the internet or wherever, then it's also pretty easy to hack into, so it's good to practice your rooting on too.

THANK YOU! :p This is simply perfect! Thanks for posting this. It looks like a great tool to teach people(and yourself) about security.

Too bad the website is too (damn) vulnerable.

lookie what I found after messing with it a bit:

needless to say, it still is a great asset for learning. They have their own videos that teach you some basic stuff, like:

yeah, if they're good quality, videos can help a lot :D
