er, i wouldn't be able to talk about it (won't be back in hawaii for
another couple months), but i'd be able to assist in writing an intro
to hacking redhat.

-local exploits
 -password brute forcing
 -local network sniffing
 -stack smashing
 -physical access

-remote exploits
 -OS fingerprinting (passive/active)
 -selective port scanning and the use of decoys
 -identifying services
 -using fragmented packets
 -network mapping
 -protocol weaknesses (NFS,NIS,etc)
 -stack smashing
 -DOS attacks

that's all i can think of off the top of my head,
but i'm still hungover from yesterday so i'll probably
have more ideas when my brain stops bleeding.
