An excellent point here has been raised. That being that one should set up a home lab in which one can practice one's skills. This is by far the best way to quickly understand the concepts behind how the web works (tcp/ip) and some of the numerous attacks we all hear about (unicode/format strings). This way
one can practice with malware and exploits to better understand them in a benign environment.
For it is my personal mantra "to properly defend one must learn how to attack!"
