server

Literally anything would work

What do do you mean by this?

cheap laptop. set it up as a server.
by the time you learn how to set it up / learn a thing or two about it you'll get over your "pen testing" phase and move on to bigger and better things

probably the most accurate thing ive read all night.

a dell or hp will work, just do your research and pick one that wont run 300w at idle and be loud as fuck

then put esxi free on it and you can create a simple environment for what you want to accomplish

i started with a ts140 and now ive got more hardware and multiple testing domains and malware analysis machines

What did he mean by this

>>57507112
he means that it is clear that OP does not even possess the prerequisite knowledge necessary to even start thinking about hacking the FBI, and he should probably pull his head out of his fucking ass and just start with the basics and see if he evens like that

>>57507112
"pen testing" should be a byproduct of knowing a lot about networking / ASM / powerful programming techniques, not the other way around.
most skids attempt to learn pentesting first but it benefits more to learn it gradually after developing skills in core computing concepts first

I can barely code.

they got the codebreaker challenge going on right now if you want to try your hand at it. it sounded fun but I didn't have a .edu email handy so I wasn't able to enter

>>57507270
I don't either.

>>57507262
