Yes I'm a smart guy so the n00b questions shouldn't slip out into here.  I'm so tired of reading cert forums and seeing "OMG CAN I UZE A+ FOR A MCSA ELECTIVE"



Thanks for all your help.  I'm going through the Redhat Linux CBT's right now.  The power of the shell compels me

Plus I see videos later on with nmap and snort and thats something I really want to get into so I'm excited.

lol, I've got a lot of that on the list.... Working on the distro basics and washboard abs atm....

The coding part is what scares me... I took a weed out java class in college and I think that scarred me for life regarding programming... I've been thinking of picking up C Primer Plus and working through that...


Oh if I only had 40 hour days it would be so much easier to go through everything I want to learn.

I'm completing my MCSA at the moment for my position here and theN i'm going to go into CCNA training, get some switches/routers and set up a virtual network.  In the meantime, work with linux at home and get a handle on the OS and go from there I think.

Thanks,

I've read Mitnik's art of deception... Really cool what you can do with social engineering.

I'll check out the two other books you mentioned.

..Whats your opinion?

So far I know that you need
