RE: TCP/IP skills

["Strand, John" <John.Strand () mms gov>]

I just asked this question in the Incidents list.

Here is what I got.

http://www.sans.org/resources/tcpip.pdf

And

TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1,  by Richard Stevens 

It looks like Volume 2 and 3 good too.

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. :)
