1) Well, 30 blogs is good, but there are many more. I have a custom OPML file which includes mine, most of my instructors from SANS, the security bloggers network, and tons of other feeds.

2) I also stay up on podcasts, as you do, i'm sure i don't have to name the big ones.

3) TWITTER... man i have to say.. TWITTER.  Create a  separate non personal account, and follow everybody. I follow most of the SANS instructors, podcast makers, security bloggers, AV companies, everyone. You will be surprised how often people release cool stuff early or exclusively  on twitter.

4) Stay up on CORE's and SANS Webcasts, also the SANS reading room and ISC.

5) Follow sites such as Dojosec.com, Learnsecurityonline.com, theacademypro.com, mubix's links, etc.

6) Go to Cons and training obviously.

7) Follow Syngress, Wiley, McGraw-Hill, publishing and check  their new releases.

if i think of more ill reply =)

I also read milw0rm and look for aliases and names of people that submit exploits and papers.   I search for them and sometimes find forums and IRC channels they frequent.  I join them and see what the blackhats are up to.   Sometimes its interesting, sometimes not.  I think that it helps to know what's going in the blackhat community.

I never thought of that.  Good idea!

Twitter is fantastic! Nothing like a brief chat with the "top dogs." Plus a fantastic networking opportunity.

Here is a list off of the top of my head. I can't remember them all, but these are the best ones.

Podcasts:
PaulDotCom Security Weekly - Pen Testing
Cyberspeak - Forensics
Data Security Podcast - News
ISC Podcast - Emerging Threats & News
Network Security Blog (Podcast) - News & PCI Spin

Blogs:
CarnalOwnage (done by our own Chris Gates, BTW, love the blog)
Impacta LLC
Metasploit Blog
Command Line Kung Fu Blog
McGrew Security Blog
Tenable Blog
SANS ISC

RSS Feeds:
Milw0rm
Security Focus
US-Cert
CSO Online
Full Disclosure
Microsoft Security Bulletins
Websens Security Labs
Cisco Security Notices
The Academy Pro


Also, I would suggest to never turn down the webcasts from SANS and EH.Net. I have never been disappointed.

Mind sharing the OPML?

Spooky timing, I've just (literally) added an RSS page to my site that I've intended to use to keep track of all my RSS feed sources, bounced over to EH-net after a weeks holiday to see what I've missed and found this thread sitting at the top Cheesy.

Have a look to see what you think, looks like I'll have a fair few more to add after fully reading through this thread though, thanks for sharing guys.

And I'm going to have to take a closer look at the Twitter idea, hadn't thought of that.

Thanks.  I went to the link in the referenced post and got a 404 on the file.   Any chance you can repost it?
