Hello,

    My name is Mark. I've recently began my learning more about networking & Pen testing. I wish to expand my knowledge in ethical hacking.


So I ask you guys, if anyone would be my teacher. I am willing to pay for you help via MSN 'lessons'. Anything would help really, even advice on what to learn.

Its important to understand i'm only 18 & only have prior knowledge in PC & Network security ( Firewalls, IDS, Spyware & malware prevention, etc,etc). That was very easy to learn, as you can learn it anywhere. 

If you are intrested, please contact me via here & msn.

Have a happy Holiday weekend!

As awesec replied, you won't find anyone willing to teach you here.
I would suggest you to read counter hack reloaded by Ed Skoudis.It'll give you a nice foundation. You could practice the tools in the book on a virtual lab and in a few months you'll be pretty confident

Hello,


I've already looked at 'LearnSecurityOnline', however I could not see anything that could help.


     Can someone recomend what to learn & read? I've learned the basics of networking (topology, TCP/IP & Ports).

Thank you for this...useless reply.


    I thank all of you whom have mailed me helping me out alot! It helps! If you have any information that can help me out, or tutorials, i would greatly appreciate!

Jesus, Chill out bud. Take it easy.

I just don't like responces 'Use search box' - Trust me; I have. Google, obviously. As I said in my first post, I have googled it. So if you're going to leave half-ass replies, don't reply at all.

Think about your half-ass question before you start attacking forum members.  We are security professionals.  Nobody here was spoon fed their knowledge and I do not believe you would find anyone willing to be paid to train you.  Trainers get paid a lot of money for their time and effort.  Our knowledge comes from training, reading, lectures, setting up labs, and asking specific questions.  So, since nobody in the thread is willing to train you, just take their suggestions.

Awesec offered a very good suggestion.  Rather than reinventing the wheel, look around the forum for what other people have suggested to people who want to start out.  Similar people have asked the exact same questions you have.

My recommendation is to review the articles/interviews/reviews by Don, http://www.ethicalhacker.net/content/category/7/15/24/.  There is a wealth of knowledge from the industries top professionals like Ed Skoudis, HD Moore, and Johnny Long, as well as a great primer on a DIY career.

Good luck!
