It’s one thing to learn about buffer overflows, reverse engineering, and SQL injection, but it’s a lot more helpful to actually do them hands-on. Damn Vulnerable Linux, a distribution based on Damn Small Linux, comes with all the outdated, unpatched, highly vulnerable software you could possibly want in a security playground. It also comes with plenty of tools to help you exploit the plethora of available vulnerabilities.
This is perfect for someone looking to do some hands on hacking in a safe environment. Just load up DVL in a VMware virtual machine and have at it. To make things even easier, there’s a “getting started” video, and several built in lessons.
