Many resources are available online dedicated to this topic. I suggest reading the RFC's for the specific protocols that you would like to learn; they should provide the necessary level of depth needed. Once you have a more in-depth understanding of the protocol, tools such as tcpdump are great for analyzing the traffic of said protocol. Use tcpdump or something like hping to view the raw protocol data - this will give you excellent material to learn about the actual real-world implementation of whatever traffic you wish to learn. http://www.rfc.net/ -more information on TCP/IP, protocols, and security technologies than you could ever ingest in a lifetime. -----Original Message----- From: Jordan Cole (stilist) [mailto:stilist () gmail com] Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 4:51 PM To: Don Parker Cc: pen-test () securityfocus com; vuln-dev () securityfocus com Subject: Re: TCP/IP skills I'm not a professional in any sense of the word, I just toy with technology out of love. I have yet to find a good tutorial or instruction manual on how to use TCP/IP or many of the other technologies used in security and the internet. While I'm sure they exist, I simply haven't stumbled across them yet. It took me several tries with Google to find an explanation of SMTP; even then it wasn't obvious from the search results. Perhaps if somebody would make a website or (inexpensive) book dedicated to topics such as these, more geeks/professionals would have a knowledge of it. And that concludes my outsider's view. :)
