Ethical Hacking, Cracking, Sniffing, Phishing, Social Engineering, Auditing and More
We have a strong focus on ethical hacking to help introduce individuals into the world of IT security. We don't have attitudes and we're always excited to share information.
Server and Appliance Administration
Play with NFS, LDAP, Active Directory, NIS, DNS, Squid, Snort, DHCP, Firewalls, SAMBA / CIFS, VMware Server, Cisco devices and much more. Unlike a home lab, an active environment helps everyone to grow and experience new problems and new solutions through collaboration in real world scenarios.
Our Private Network
This is what keeps things legal. We offer an isolated network of machines (known as our playground) that will provide a hands on approach to learning. Yes you can run Nessus in your home lab, conduct man in the middle attacks with yourself and crack your own passwords. Wouldn't it be better to do it on an active network with real users?
Challenges, Competitions, Points and Medals
The primary purpose for our public facing website. Once you become a member and log in, you will have access to our challenges that will earn you recognition (Our Hall of Fame - Medals) amoung the group. Levels are from beginner to advanced. No membership fees. We do this because we all love it. We also use a shoutbox for live day to day communication with group members.
We're extremely grateful to the hundreds of fantastic groups and websites that are also helping bring the community together. Case in point; a website that inspired the birth of Group51: http://ethicalhacker.net.
