Hey i was wondering if anyone here does penetration test's on their linux box just to see how secure it is. I'm trying to get a step in the right direction but I'm kinda having a hard time with it. Anyone here have any advice? I've already tried using a port scanner on the home network and I found a few open ports but thats as far as I've gotten on it.

You'll probably want to use something like Nessus.
