hi I'm doing my BS in CS With the aim of becoming a security professional but I'm in need of some rode maps

ok so here what I'm thinking

Network+

CEH

LPT

is that ok

Welcome to EH-Net. The term 'security professional' is too broad. Based on your cert choice, you want to start going in the direction of ethical hacking. But do you want network pen testing, forensics, web app, code review, malware research, reverse engineering...

The more you know, the more you realise you don't.

there is more to learning about an OS than one class can teach a person. You'll really need to know everything you can about the Operating Systems. There are 2 that you need to know, 3 if you have the desire (Windows, Linux, MacOS).

If you want to be a pentester. Then e-learn security and offensive security are the routes you want to go. Maybe hacking Dojo.

If you need to start at the beginning. Pick up Hacking for Dummies, and Hacking Exposed.

You'll still need a programming language. I've heard Python is good. I'm doing Perl (work choice, and have some experience in it). I've also written in C, Focus, Shell, Javascript, and some VBScript for work over the last 10 years, and have studied COBOL at one point. Only ones I can do now are Shell and some Perl.

So a start of a map:
Learn Networking, including how to design and understand packet captures
Hacking For Dummies
Hacking Exposed
Professional Penetration Testing
Python
OS - Windows Administration
OS - Linux Administration
Offensive Security - PWB
Offensive Security - WiFu
Elearn Security


You can pick and chose what you want.  But starts to give you an idea.

Since my primary skill set right now is Linux Administrator. I'm partial to Perl.

If you have a good grasp on python, you might want to look into grayhat python too. I've heard good things about it.

I will look in to that book

this may be a noob-ish question but I'll ask anyway

the few Linux Administrators that I now all use perl why is that?

I check the book in amazon but people don't have nice things to say about it can some one give me an expert opinion about the book 

thank you for that can you tell me what are your other selected books

Like Hayabusa, Grayhat python sits within reach of my desk (as in on the half shelf next to it) in my lab / study / home office.

The books with it are, The WiFu Lab Manual, Hacking: The Next Generation, Learning Perl, Secuirty+ Deluxe Study Guide, Make: Electronics, Professional Penetration Testing,  and Practical Lock Picking.

I'd keep all those on the desk, but the desk is too small, it is a converted writing desk, covered in electronics and locks.
