[Neo81]

G'day


I am currently a Computer Technichian at the moment after leaving school 2 years ago. I have been working full time for the past 2 years as a Comp Tech and would love to head in the direction of Internet Security over the next couple of years. I would just like to know what I Would need to learn Programming and Internet wise.... I know a bit of Linux as I am looking after a small ISP at work and Most of the Windows range... I also work alot with ADSL Routers and internet sharring devices and do a lot of Networking using Novell 4.1, 5.1 and Win NT4

Currently fine tunning Internet tools and stuff now, any help would be really apreciated

Later

kool... I have the same interest, but I have asked many people about internet security the most commend answer I get is if you can't HACK then you can't project. That really disapoints me because I dont really don't know anything about hacking.

I would say first get TCP/IP and routing down. Youc an achieve this through CISCO courses. As security has become rather "sheik" lately many companies are offering security training. Cisco, SANS, SCP. Do a searhc on Security certifications. Hope this helps
