I find most security 'training' to be really contrived. The examples are so trivial as to be useless and easily avoided in real life.

I have had to do several 'security' training sessions. I understand it intellectually, but they don't instill a deep understanding.

Yeah. There's a lot of security information that is easy to understand, but not very accessible. I've been thinking about writing a book on that topic, for that very reason.

Start out with things like, "don't leave your telnet port open" which seems obvious, but apparently is hard for a lot of people. Then from there lead to a reasonable understanding of metasploit.
