Starting Out

Hi,

First post, so please be gentle.

I'm a support engineer for a firewall developer, and part of my role
involves keeping the network safe. The problem is, I don't know enough
about penetration attacks to know what I should look for. I do have
access to testbeds & test networks with which to practice, but I was
hoping someone on here could point me to a good source of ethical
information/tools in order to start getting the right knowledge.

Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.

Lyndon
