Well, I need to learn ethical hacking for free.(Not to destroy or hack websites). I search everywhere(googled) but can not find good resources for free. If you happen to know any resource please post here...

I'm pretty sure any site that tells you how to crack would be taken down by the authorities. That's the difficulty with cracking: you have to either use the script kiddie method and download hacking tools, or figure out how to do it yourself. The latter requires more technical skill than probably any other area of computers, with the possible exception of engineering. That's why white-hat hackers are so well-paid.

White-hat hacking is my dream job, though not because of the money, but because of the challenge.

This is a pretty cool site, it has alot of tutorials, and challenges to work through.

• Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). If you luck, maybe you can get them for "free" when googling. I bought them on 4 DVDs (certainly, pirated) when I took hacking course.
  
• I became member of cyberterrorists.net about one year ago, but not as active member up to now. You can look at CT Hacking Club section for any hacking tutorials.

I took a class last year through SANS (GIAC) called Web Application Penetration Testing. The course was known as GPEN. It was a class about testing vulnerabilities in web applications and finding ways into the hosting system. It was very interesting. It was taught by a gentleman by the name of Kevin Johnson. Feel free to look it up. Tons of great information and tools. You should also look up a tool called Samurai ( Samurai Web Testing Framework )

Enjoy!

Hack Forums

Check out this site might have some of what you need

My solution to this issue. Backtrack Linux Its built for penetration testing. on top of that its great for ethical hacking. I have not had much time to tinker with it but the good news is you can put it on a DVD and take it with you. just boot off the **** and it give you everything you need. Its also built to not leave a trace (On your computer). I suggest getting on the forums there as well. But dont just rush in. those guys are serious and will likely laugh and tell you to learn Linux first. which is advice I will give you ahead of time. As well pardon any ignorance regarding if you know linux or not.

The path to becoming a world class hacker is not easy but if your up for the challenge then I'm sure you can play cards with the best of them so to speak.

mainly, They are 5 Easy Steps to Learn Hacking

1. Take all safety Measures to hide yourself from target.
2. Find out the IP Address of Target Computer.
3.Gather information about target computer such as its operating system ,time,date etc etc .
4.Use Search engine (according to information obtained from above steps) to get tools which will help us to hack target computer.
Search engines like google are very close friends of hackers. If we do all the things mentioned above we know exactly where vulnerability lies in target computer. To use that vulnerability we search for available tools on google.com. After downloading specific tools (download tools at Most Popular Hacking Tools) we need IP Address of target computer ( we already know) to get access on other computer.
Learn to use that vulnerability
5. Leave one or two files on the target computer so to get easy access in future.

I think Fayaz first rule/step is important,

Take all safety Measures to hide yourself from target.

But I think step 2 for a smart person that can actually learn to [ethical-]hack or/and program, is:
2. Learn some basic programming, use Google/read a few tutorials on the topic or play a few "hack games", then go out and explore, learn more programming, explore more, etc.
Explore Linux, explore Backtrack, explore shell, SSH/telnet, ++, and just play with it,
????,
Profit.

If you need to learn it as fast as possible, then of course read books on the topic - that's always the "professional" way to learn stuff, and the fastest if you like to learn that way. o'reilly security penetration - Google Search

Oh, and fayaz-bro, you bumped a 6 months old thread.

I would also join the hack forums, there is a lot to learn on there!

Books on ebay also.
