Poke things.

Seriously though, I started because I wanted to secure my server. So I looked at how other people secure better severs. Sometimes I looked so deep I found errors, normally little things like leaving a default account set up, or leaving FTP wide open.

If you're looking for some generic response like "Just go to http://hunt4.bugs", I don't think one exists.
