If you are a software developer and you want to be a penetration tester, you should practice and train your skills and eventually you should be able to discover vulnerabilities in the websites or web apps. In this lab you can create and host websites in your custom servers with default settings. You can also check for vulnerabilities and you can try different methodologies to rectify the vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
As newbies you cannot take the risk to afford plenty of money for buying lots of expensive equipment to set up a real hacking laboratory, but you can make some custom modifications which is cheap and also powerful.
Basically we need a good personal computer or a Laptop with a good configuration. I will not suggest you to install these softwares and hardwares in public usage computers or someone’s computer without their permission because they may not be well aware of what they are doing and it is consider to be zombie computer and it is a crime.
