I am VERY new to this mail list! I am a post-grad
working in Network Administration. My home PC is a
Win-ME system with a software firewall (Norton). At
work I am responsible for 50 machines running NT 4.0,
with a hardware firewall between the Cisco router and
my NT server. (2 cards in proxy server).
I have recently been reading "A hackers guide to
protecting your internet site & network", although I
am unsure of the intentions of the author I have found
it a valuable and eye - opening resource.
However, reading through this mail - there are many
areas I do not have a clue about!
My question to the group is simple - Where do I start
?
I want to learn as much about security on the net as
possible and would prefer to experiment on my home box
- before I implement anything at work.
Additionally does anybody know anything about possible
test sites out there in the void? is there a location
that you can practice cracking on - if I learn to
compromise security I can learn to protect my network!
Although I have Uni education - education on security
was sadly lacking.
Please point me in the right direction!
Thanks to all who take the time to read this.
Kind Regards
Gary Jones
