I'm also a noob at linux , and I think the best way to start linux is with mandrake 9.0.

I'ts a nice cd , just insert and follow.And on there site , they placed training stuff with pictures.It's a bit scary as a windowsuser too switch to linux.The only think I can do on the thing is play a movie and lissen to some music.

I also used redhat but that was to difficult .It also didn't recognize my videocard.

But there's still a lot for me to learn in windows.

My advice , keep on reading .

Beginning as an Information Security whatever...or Hacker....

Definately you will need to learn Programming. I have been at Information Security and Networking for a few years of my life...and I always run into the problem of compilation, or creation of my own tool.

The real problem comes when my limited programming experience stops me from completing my mission...it sucks.

I am glad I ran into GSO though. Tough to find local quality teammates to learn from....

So my 2 cents is learn Python or C to start....then go from there. I will.

I do like what you are saying but in the event of a total System DOS, what in the sense can we rebut with?

Do you have to learn to program to be good at security? What if you want to stay in the Windows world? Once Linux becomes as mainstream as Windows (which it will never be on the desktop side) it will be hacked and exploited the same as Windows. Tux is very cute!

For linux newbies and experts, a really good linux resource is linuxquestions.org. It's a massive forum with a lot of people posting every day. Very easy to get help there.
Another good linux-for-newbies page I just found the other day is http://www.linux.org/lessons ... it looks really good and in-depth.

To reply to Jacerra, Linux is hacked as much as windows. There aren't any widespread worms like there are for Windows, but it has its share of Sendmail, Bind, Apache ... exploits that I see tripped everyday on the networks I monitor.

TCP/IP is definitely something to know ... how else are you supposed to know how to craft those IDS-evading TCP packets? Or to decode those logged binary TCP packets

Another good/interesting "language" to learn, is shellcoding. There's a pretty good article about it on neworder (neworder.box.sk).

Didnt think there would be much in this thread of interest, as I have visited a lot of security sites and done a lot of reading but i am impressed with the amount of resources and advice posted in this thread. Will wear my noobie tag with a little more humility. Thanks to all who contributed.

I must admit I am confused. I read in these forums about how you are against hacking and everything, and then you guys start talking about hacking; is there some sort of double meaning to the word that I am missing?

We ara gainst hacking as a skiddie way. So we are against seeing how much computers we can hack with an autohacker that we know nothing about but it only takes a few commands and we have 400 computers on a botnet.

What we encourage is knowing about the computers and learning to do it all by hand becauise once you know how to do it you can successfully secure it on your home/business network.

So it's more like you try to know as much about computers as you can and then you try to understand how a hacker hacks to safeguard yourself against the hackers?
