It mostly deals with security issues on Linux systems and real life implementations ranging from Firewalls to Port Scanners to Intrusion detection systems...

Hello fellow Linux enthusiasts.
Next September is some time away, but I'm looking at options for continuing education.
I am taking Net-tech at SAIT, contact me if you wish to ask me questions.
I'm looking to get into IT security.
What are some recomendations as to where I can start, what I should take, and possibly resources for funding?
I would like to be a consultant, do network audits, and advise methods to improve.
There's a couple things I've had in my mind.
1. Course books, I will avoid a course if they use bad books.
2. Qualified instructors / professors.
3. Pace, and acceleration of the course. I like to move at my own speed. Not a huge priority.
Thank you all for your time.
Sincerely,
Richard Jenniss
