Bit of a grey area on most places, had a quick look and the topic doesn't seem to be covered, just wondering what the forums stance is. All theoretical of course.

OS.... i'm still a bit wet when it comes to backtrack and linux... but spending more and more time in linux, and picked up loads re:using the shell .....have both main computer and laptop setup to multiboot into (A) Normal OS (B) Backtrack (C) A outdated XP32 SP3 install from 2009 no FW/AV (To use as a target even when unplugged from web)...that way, during the day, i can have a go at the laptop... and i can use the laptop to attack main PC when laying in bed
And no fear of anyone else trying their luck

There are many places where you can hone your skills, many will offer assistance as you progress. Home networks are always a good place to start. Surrounding WLAN can also be great fun to test on, with permission of course
Personally, city centers are great fun, so much variety."What we've got here is failure to communicate."Comment

If you look on the net you can get some baddass wifi antennas from china for not much cash. Some serious war driving going on then!
The backtrack forums are pretty good for this though, theres alot more to pentesting than wifi too!I can fix that for you no problems, just let me find my good hammer..

I always use BackTrack distro. It had all the security tools a pentester needs.
I have it as my main OS on my Laptop but I bought a Alfa USB 500mW WiFI Adapter as it has the correct chipset which can be used for war driving and capturing packets [MITM]
As I am a security consultant it is great that I can carry all my security tools on a live cd if my laptop is being funny.Comment
