Hi All, Could you please let me know where should i start learning about network, and web security, I have been using linux mainly for several years, windows for a couple of years, and solaris from time to time, I would like to consolidate my knoweldge regarding the above operatings system through a deep exopsure to security. i am thinking of books, mailing lists, and training courses, i also stumbled once on a hacker group that would let you joing if you solve a puzzle, some kind of message encryption, but i do not remmber the site any more, the main objective is secure a career in network security.
Mailing lists: Pen-Tests on security-focus Full Disclosure Sites: http://www.bsrf.org.uk http://www.arson-network.com http://www.infosecwriters.com http://neworder.box.sk Books: (Need to be more specific to a topic) These are a good place to start. These sites are pretty generic, if you have a specific topic you'd like to work on books would be better, but books that try to cover everything aren't generally that good, better to choose books focused on one aspect of security such as firewalls, eploit coding, IDS's etc..... -- Barrie Dempster (zeedo) - Fortiter et Strenue http://www.bsrf.org.uk [ gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.keyserver.net 0x96025FD0 ]
