Hello Vijay, no worries and best of luck on your journey through the world of InfoSec. Since you are just starting out I believe that you can do a lot worse than start by reading "Security Engineering" by Ross Anderson. A really great book (IMHO required reading for everyone in InfoSec) that can give you a broad overview on what InfoSec is about. I think this should be your first book, it covers a lot of areas so you can choose from there what tickles your fancy and drill down from there.

Hi all, I am a little afraid and feeling silly to ask this here. But, I don't know any other place to do so. I am a Computer Applications student interested in information security. But I do not know where to start my learning from. Could you guys kindly suggest what I should start learning first and how to proceed from there? Any online material and book names and references would be beneficial to me. I am from a very uneducated background and hence do not have any guidance from those around me.
