I strongly advise you contact some hackers or former hackers, and talk
to them.

There are a number of good books available, including "Hacker's
Challenge" published by Osborne, and "Hack Attacks Revealed" published
by Wiley.

I am always reminded of the story of a company who spent a fortune on
firewalls and the like, only to be infiltrated when a hacker walked
into their premises via the back-door pretending to be a new
contractor and was given access to a terminal and login....
