    Hacking 'systems' is a broad term, you could be hacking nuclear control systems, or nintendo ds systems. They are both completely different. Learn how the system you want to hack works, learn how the services work.

    I can recommend tools but it won't teach you much. I would recommend using a unix based distro, not because it automatically makes u a 'l33t h4x0r' but because firstly its what most servers are ran on, so if you get used to it yourself it will help you in the future. Also it is very easy to customised and if it breaks its because your doing something wrong, rather than in Windows, if it breaks its because the developers have done something wrong.

    Also you may want to start by securing your own system.

    Great tip Xin. Using linux really does help and having experience in linux really does help when learning about security. If you want to hack corporate networks then look into Windows Server but webservers are usually Linux (centOS/Debian/Ubuntu etc) and usually apache. Experiment with different webservers.

    Also look into Iptables and have a good understanding of iptables (linux firewall) and routing (not rooting) ;) Programming in linux sockets is worthwhile learning too.
  • just my 2 cents. before you go embarking on anything to do with a remote network, i would first learn (and MASTER) TCP/IP/OSI and basic network protocols. i would start with the books i recommend---TCP/IP Illustrated: The Protocols, then move onto The Implementations, both by the God himself Richard Stevens

    +2, fantastic advice
    while( !(succeed = try() ) );
  • fist step is prepare your testing lab, download damn vulnerable linux and metasploitable this two vm will be your targets addicionally you can test whit xp and a version of centos this last because many corp have its servers whit redhat

    u need a copy of bactrack to and maybe abook or tuto for metasploit this and practice is all you need
