Kees Leune has pointed me towards some excellent pentest training resources, a set of live CD's that provide safe and legal targets for learning the tools included in Backtrack.
From Leune's blog:
I've been keeping an eye open for some other challenges, and I found one at The Last HOPE. One of the speakers mentioned that www.de-ice.net hosts some bootable CD images that are used to teach people pentesting skills. They author of the CD's did a nice job and grouped them in different levels of difficulty. The de-ice CD's are designed to be breakable with the tools included on the Backtrack Live CD.
After downloading the images, I was hooked.
Unfortunately there are only three CD's out at the moment, but I am proud to say that I managed to win all three challenges. I also admit that I needed some help getting the last one; I was unfamiliar with one of the tools used and needed a little hint. With that last hint, I was able to solve the third and final challenge. [From De-ice.net pentesting live CD's - Kees Leune]
