Good day. This is my first of what I hope is many posts to Anti-online. I took on this website for a Computer project through my school and decided to join. I hope the people here are as informative as the other forums that I've been on and look forward to hearing your news and views on the various in demented discussions I may bring up. I'll start off with something basic...

Is there a place on the web where you can hack by legitamate means? A place to scan ports and try out different software to test your own skills and understand how hackers hack. I'm only interested in education and refuse to cause any mayhem to anyone. Don't post a response if your only answer is to simply hack anyone. I'm interested in the hacking process through a means that is educational, legitamate, and challenging.

Does it such a place exist? And I'm not talking about creating your own network (to hack internally)
