I am really disappointed in the continuing answer "use Google" or use something else. All of the people on this list know how to use a search engine. What the beginners are asking is for advice on which ones are good sites and which ones are bad. I remember the trouble I had finding good sites. My time was very limited and I needed to concentrate on getting the best info in the little time available to me. This is Security BASICS after all. There are a lot of beginners on this list and understandably there will be a lot of duplication of questions and answers. What were you people like in the beginning of your studies. I am sure we are all alike. I knew next to nothing and thanks to a great bunch of people I was able to gather a lot of info despite thanks to the "use Google" crowd.
