i posted this in the noob selection rather than links because i assume noobs dont check links too often and are more interested in getting kick started looking at hacking tutorials, war driving, that sort of thing on the forums.
this site has helped me alot and i still check it from time to time to see what's new. check the guide to mostly harmless hacking, it will get you started in the right path and it isnt illegal unless you decide to use it that way. i think this site will help the noobs understand what their doing instead of just downloading nmap, nessus and cygwin and going commando on random sites.
