Hi
I feel the subject title is a little misleading. The body is asking about
learning network security as a whole, whilst ethical hacking is a small part
of the overall process. I feel that question of learning network security
has been done to death with some excellent advice within the thread.
However, Ethical Hacking was mentioned and different training courses keep
being mentioned and I would like to comment on this. If you want to be a pen
tester then IMHO an ethical hacking course will not provide you with the
necessary skillz to become one. Though, it will teach you some of the
methods used. Originally these courses were designed to teach give students
an insight into how to hack, the term ethical was added due to marketing
pressure for fear of the political backlash of training individuals about
how to break into networks.
I suggest that everyone entering the security arena especially management,
who hasn't come in from the dark side, should attend such a course, though
in reality without attending you will still soon pick up the methodology
used. The course will just allow you to hit the ground running.
I have collected detail on what I feel is every such course in the World

Hi All,
Could you please let me know where should i start learning about
network, and web security, I have been using linux mainly for
several years, windows for a couple of years, and solaris from time to
time, I would like to consolidate my knoweldge regarding the above
operatings system through a deep exopsure to security. i am thinking
of books, mailing lists, and training courses, i also stumbled once on
a hacker group that would let you joing if you solve a puzzle, some
kind of message encryption, but i do not remmber the site any more,
the main objective is secure a career in network security.
