Before we begin i introduce myself i am Amit Kumar Gupta a B.Tech Engineer from IIIT-Calcutta(India).I assumes that you all have a little bit knowledge of programming languages like c, python, Perl, or java and little bit shell scripting.One thing always remember that it's the logic that matters in any programming language not its syntax.
You must have a good knowledge of Networking and little bit knowledge of Database.So, According to me if you are not clear with the above Concept or you have doubt please read these topics thoroughly and understand the underlying concepts.I am saying all these nonsense just because in my childhood i read a proverb that "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing".
Let's Go to learn hacking....
Before we begin let's set up up lab for experiments.You must download tools like BackTrack,
or Kali linux Os because it includes all the tools that a hacker required, Virtual box or
Vmware Workstation.You can download above files by simply asking Google.

Preparing Virtual machine for Backtrack
There are two methods of installing BackTrack on a virtualBox. One is to use the
LiveCD ISO to install BackTrack just as you would on a physical machine;the other
is to download a pre-prepared virtual machine. This is the VMWare image option
seen on the BackTrack-Linux.org download site.
