So I found out a little more. These are [a lot of] the same virtual machine 
ISOs that are on HackTheBox.com, just that Kali Linux links to this site so as 
to not align with HackTheBox... both are good resources, and ARE cool.

Some are in .OMV files, which VirtualBox [or VMWare or your Hypervisor] can 
load quickly with no user input, and some are in standard Virtualbox format 
that you need to setup first...

There are TONS of different 'boxes' to hack, depending on your skill level. I 
am VERY amateur, but... still getting my feet wet. :P I WOULD suggest that 
anyone go there and learn. Fun stuff.

I've been learning and playing with a Wifi Pineapple, because you know... all 
the cool kids use them - but quickly found out that sure... I can follow some 
online howtos and BREAK THE LAW, but to really use this hardware the way I want 


































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































to, I need much more specialized knowledge... 

At any rate, BOTH are really cool and fun to get into - I'm gonna continue to 
learn about Linux boxes, internet waves that shoot thru the air and simply more 


































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































than I knew yesterday. :P

w00t w00t!
