Go ahead and check out Kali linux, it is the hacker's best friend.
Also, it isn't web pentesting, its called being an uber 1337 hax0r...get it right. And to be one of those, you are gonna wanna learn how to use Kali really well, get Low Orbit Ion Cannon installed, Download MSN Messenger, and run around the internet threatening to DDoS people.

No really though, just because you know HTML doesn't mean you can do any sort of penetration testing (hacking). You are going to want to read up on TCP, UDP, packet filters, buffer overflows, DOS (denial of service), race conditions, and get really used to using Etherial. It isn't a fun route, and it won't be something you learn overnight (or even in the course of a year, no matter how dedicated you are). Nobody on this forum is an expert in those fields but few of us know enough to get by.
First off, you sound like a skid...and I hate skids.
Ditch the attitude or expectation that people are going to do all the work for you and just give you a program that does exactly (or even remotely) what you want. You will need to do all of the hard work yourself. I suggest you sit down, get a broad understanding of the topics I listed above, then start iteratively going through the list until your understanding is more on the 25th percentile level...
And, I don't know if English is your native language or not (if it is, you're too young to be on this forum) but try and study up on it, it's atrocious.
