Hi everybody,

I want to get the ideas of you and let this  general
topic to get in the place on the list. 

What do you think, what are the basic programming knowledge-skills
(background,algoritm,languages etc) needed by someone who wants to be a
security professional?

There is an article at securityfocus talking about the
tcp-ip knowledge requierments. Maybe if there would be
a series of articles talking about main subjects
(OS,programming,protocols,hardware,coffee making etc) on securityfocus or
somewhere they will be very usefull for newbies.

Thanks alot
