Hi again folks,reading my feeds i found a interesting post with the most important enviroments for practice your skills hacking, i wait that you like :
Taken from :http://g0tmi1k.blogspot.com ©Pentest lab. "Hacker" training. Deliberately insecure applications challenge thingys.Call it what you will, but what happens when you want to try out your new set of skills? Do you want to be compare results from a tool when it's used in different environments? What if you want to explore a system (that is legal to do so!) that you have no knowledge about (because you didn't set it up!)...
If any of that sounds helpful, below is a small collection of different environments, so if you want to go from "boot to root", "capture the flag" or just to dig around as much as you want to try out the odd thing here and there. These will allow you to do so and without getting in trouble for doing it!
The idea isn't to cheat, the aim is to learn a thing or two ;)I'm sure there are a lot more out there, if you want to recommend any others - please so do! =)Complete Operating System. The idea of going from boot to root via any which way you can. Most of them have multiple entry points (some are easier than others) so you can keep using it ;) They are all Linux OS (either in ISO or VM form) with vulnerable/configured software installed. (If you haven't got any VM software, VMware Playeris free and will do the trick)
(Offline) Web based. Most of them you'll need to download, copy and load the files yourself on your own web server (if you haven't already got one, xampp is great). A few of them are VM images that can be loaded in to Virtual machines as they come with all the software & settings needed.
(Online) Web based. Same as above, however if you don't want the hassle of setting it all up or to be able to do it where ever you have a Internet connection...

Brief description: Damn Vulnerable Linux (DVL) is everything a good Linux distribution isn’t. Its developers have spent hours stuffing it with broken, ill-configured, outdated, and exploitable software that makes it vulnerable to attacks. DVL isn’t built to run on your desktop – it’s a learning tool for security students.

Brief description: The PenTest LiveCDs are the creation of Thomas Wilhelm, who was transferred to a penetration test team at the company he worked for. Needing to learn as much about penetration testing as quickly as possible, Thomas began looking for both tools and targets. He found a number of tools, but no usable targets to practice against. Eventually, in an attempt to narrow the learning gap, Thomas created PenTest scenarios using LiveCDs.

Brief description: NETinVM is a single VMware virtual machine image that contains, ready to run, a series ofUser-mode Linux (UML) virtual machines which, when started, conform a whole computer network inside theVMware virtual machine. Hence the name NETinVM, an acronym for NETwork in Virtual Machine. NETinVM has been conceived mainly as an educational tool for teaching and learning about operating systems, computer networks and system and network security, but other uses are certainly possible.

Brief description: It's a linux virtual machine intentionally configured with exploitable services to provide you with a path to r00t. :) Currently, the virtual machine NIC is configured in bridged networking, so it will obtain a normal IP address on the network you are connected to. You can easily change this to NAT or Host Only if you desire. A quick ping sweep will show the IP address of the virtual machine.
