Dear Reader,

This ist the LiveCD project of Hacking-Lab (www.hacking-lab.com).
It gives you OpenVPN access into Hacking-Labs Remote Security Lab. 
The LiveCD iso image runs very good natively on a host OS, or within a 
virtual environment (VMware, VirtualBox). However, if you expect 
improved screen resolution, drag and drop support with your Host OS, 
then we recommend to use a VirtualBox Appliance. 

Please read the following readme to get familiar with downloading
and using the LiveCD ISO image or VirtualBox appliance. t

OpenVPN Question
=====================================================
You will gain VPN access if both of the following pre-requirements are fulfilled. 

a) you have a valid hacking-lab username and password
b) you are registered for a vpn enabled event 

Please note; if your account is *NOT* assigned to a running Hacking-Lab event,
you cannot connect using OpenVPN (even if your password is valid!). Unfortunately
the openvpn error is telling you, that your username or password is invalid.


LiveCD Updates
=====================================================
The LiveCD will get updated once per month. We dislike the idea of 
letting you using an outdated linux distro (old kernels and more)
Please make sure, you are getting the latest LiveCD from here from time to time

Our update mechanism includes
a) updating ubuntu packages
b) updating metasploint (svn update)
c) updating browser
d) updating kernel 

-> this process is fully automated. We can create new ISO images in 10 minutes. Please
tell us if you are missing a tool or if something is not as expected. 



Thank you
