Hmmm.
  
   Beginner Level: Focus on Practical Setup 
   (must have System Administration Background)
   - learns mechanics of basic attacks (DoS, buffer overflows, etc)
   - learn how to setup secure server platforms for UNIX and Windows
   - learns how to use vulnerability test tools (NMAP, Saint,etc)
     and interpret results
   - learns how to setup firewall rules (preferably by hand)
   - learns how to setup basic intrusion detection system 
     (snort, Shadow, Tripwire)
   - learns appliance-specific (routers, switches,etc.) security features
     and how to use them.
   - works out a site-specific security plan/audit/recommendation for 
     their employer

   Intermediate Level: Focus on Detection Skills
   - learns how to analyze logs for security problems. Ideally should
     be able to analyze network traffic patterns and decide if this
     is a Nimda/NMAP/etc probe.
   - learns rootkits/trojan and how to detect/stop them.
   - works out a contingency plan (in-case-of-attack-what-should-we-do) 
     for their employer.

   Advance Level: 
   - learns how to analyze an "owned" site/hard disk and determine why
     the security failed. If possible, be able to "clean" the problem.
   - knows how to do a security walkthrough of actual code (ala-OpenBSD)

I left out the details regarding legal/ethics issues...it should be 
somewhere between Beginner and Intermediate.

Ambo
