Hello,

I'm new 2 the world of security ..
I'd like 2 to do challenges 'n wargames .. (like that of www.hackerslab.com )
I'm stuck a level 0.
No wonder ..coz I'm a newbie..
Can any guys guide me what are the requirements, or what are the topics I need to have good knowledge in ?.. Where to get started ??...
I'm not asking how to cross level 0, but rather more basic...
I'm use with Windows. I like programming in C, C++ .
Which OS's I've to be familiar with ?. Which programming languages I need to know ?
What are the other things I need 2 know for cracking such challenges ???
To be precise, "Where do I get started ?? "

Thanx.
