OK, I’m a couple of months into this cyber-security hobby and the one thing I’ve learned most keenly, is how much there is to learn. The learning curve is steep and vast and a little overwhelming at times. But one small step at a time.
I seem to have zoned in on OWASP’s Broken Web Apps, Metasploit and Ruby programming, but there is one other area that I have to begin to tackle at this point; namely, networks. In view of this, and contrary to this post, I’m going to take the plunge and purchase Wireshark Network Analysis by Laura Chappell which is quite expensive as well as expansive at around 1000 pages. I’m hoping to learn from this not just about Wireshark, but about networks, packets, protocols, and so on.
I hope it’s the correct decision; it’s difficult to know the right direction without someone pointing the way.
