i figure i can have some fun with this and let the virtual machine loose on the internet. how do i get this thing rooted. and more importantly, how do i find out that it has been rooted/zombied/whatever? since it's behind a firewall, i'm guessing i'd have to forward some ports over
 
You can just put the IP address of your virtual machine as a DMZ zone in your router. That'll forward EVERYTHING to your virtual machinet. For better or for worse, you may discover that many of the really troublesome ports are also blocked by your ISP, so you may not get hit by the more common attacks.

Be sure you have a firewall running on your host machine, and any other boxes on the same subnet as your NT virtual machine. And be sure all the "real" computers are fully patched, both the OS and any running applications, and have active and updated AV software.
 
But as my boss said of our unpatched Windows 2000 servers for why we don't need antivirus on those machines: "Nobody logs into them, so they can't get viruses."

Yes, he really did say that.
