Naartjie: How should I convince my brother to give his laptop?
My brother has an old laptop (around 6 years old) that he doesnt use anymore. The last time he used it was around April last year. I want to someday get a job in information security, so it would help me greatly if I had another box I could practice legally on. My brother usually doesn’t give me anything, and this is somewhat important. Any tips on convincing him to give it to me, or even just borrow for a few months?
I forgot to add that my brother is currently going through the rebellious teen stage, and he refuses to do anything unless if theres something in it for him. I don’t really have much to bargain with currently. Also, he’s 3 years older.

Tell him what you just wrote here. It makes completely sense why you need it.
I have seen you on a few other topics, add me on skype: killab6661
As for you’re delema, if you would like a spare box to practice on you can do that with you’re current computer (via a virtual machine): https://www.virtualbox.org/
Its free, My suggestion to you, is to get and install that first, then get DVL (dam vulnerable linux as the thing to hack and backtrack 4 R1 (or R2 as it is being released soon enough) start up both vm’s and virtually attack you’re DVL virtual computer.
Although if all that is to complicated, go with the De-ICE penetration disk, the install set up, and wiki is here:
You will have to register on there forums (which is free) to be able to download the disks, but all instructions are there for you. (as well as the cheats if you’re a lamer).
I will also encourage you to read my book, which is an intro written by me, my mentor from back in the day, an old friend and my brother (aviator) you can get the book free here:
