    Hi Mehmet,

    It takes some time to learn Penetration testing; you can start with
    followings:
    Subscribe to yahoo PenTest group and securityfocus PenTest list
    To subscribe from yahoo PenTest group send a mail to
    pentest-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and pen-test-subscribe@securityfocus.com
    for Sec Focus list.

    Visit this: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pentest
    Group also meet locally in various cities and domain experts share their
    knowledge
    You can get the presentations of previous meetings from this
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PenTest/files/Presentation-Archives
    http://www.ausejo.net/seguridad/conferencia.htm

    Feel free to ask your doubts in these lists.
    Read these guides
