    If you haven't checked out the Metasploit Framework yet, check it out.  If you haven't heard of the thing, it's basically a tool for testing exploit code.  But it comes with a bunch of exploits and payloads set up and ready to be ran against machines.  I'm far from a hax0r, but I was able to open up a VNC connection to some random machine in my classroom that hadn't been patched in the last few weeks.  Very impressive.
