BackTrack is a Linux LiveCD that includes a whole load of IT Security tools (nmap, kismet, nikto...100s of tools). As with many online communities these days they offer forums for their users to ask questions etc. What amazes me is the sheer idiocy of some of the people we get on the forums.

Because there's more to the money than meets the eye.
