n00bs can practice hacking legally

ok i used to do this like a year before, since i was afraid to do it over the internet...
Ok i had a friend and he was also insane like me, he setup a linux server. He challenged me to hack that server, and it was configured that way that it would sniff any hacking attempt and permanently ban the ip address of the person..
Ok accepted the challenge, i already knew all the info about the OS and all and thats not a big deal to find out. I just went to a junk yard sort of place, where computers were thrown to be discarded or recycling or whatever.. took parts like motherboard, nic from different pieces, but i had to buy a new hard drive since i couldnt find one over there. i assembled a weak pentium 3 computer, but it was good enough to support a small linux distro.
I setup the computer with the same OS as my friend's computer it was slackware i think, and apache, plus he had a site in which he was running phpbb forums, so even i setup the same version of phpbb forums, then began the exciting part.
At first i tried and tried and tried with my original computer to hack into the other box(i named it as chimera, after mi2 lmao) but it took like a month for me after modifying exploits to get into that system. And later i got into my friends system the same way..
Later it began so popular among my friends, that whenever we need to test any bug, any OS, any new software, we just put it there and start messing, up, believe me its so exciting, that you would keep on attacking it again and again.
Now my chimera is with my friend and he uses it to learn assembly, i will ask him someday to put it online so that all of us can practice hacking!!!
The moral is you can hack anything you want, and still do it legally on your own computer... many of you i guess had already tried that
