One good thing to do is to just read some of the black hat papers. They're pretty accessible and even if you don't know everything they're saying you should be able to get a general feel for things that way. You might also try working through things like Damn Vulnerable Web App, if you have the time. Geremy Condra -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
