Start with MicroCorruption to familiarize yourself with reverse engineering and exploit development. It's ~18 challenges, entirely on the website, that task you with reverse engineering MSP-430 programs, and developing exploits against them.

From there, Pwnable.kr has another few dozen exploitation challenges. These are more real-world, but ramp up in difficulty quickly. The first block should be doable by anyone with Linux experience though.

If you're starting from the very beginning, keep Hacking: The Art of Exploitation nearby. It's a very good primer for all of this stuff. Once you work your way through that, [TAOCP](http://www.amazon.com/T

I was also facing this issue, but had to jump some more hurdles:

- In the Java Control Panel, add https://<server IP/hostname> to the exception site list. (not related to this issue, but needs to be done though)

- In the Advanced tab (this is on windows) enable the console, so I could check what java version was being used. (I have 5 versions installed)

- Edit the mentioned java.security for the correct version, but, I had to make an additional change. I also had to alter the "jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms" parameter, and remove MD5 there. Hence, enable MD5 support.
