Every now and then it's a good idea to go back to the basics. If we don't we are in danger of getting off track. There is a pretty good series on OSI security at serchnetworking.com called Securing the Stack. The reading isn't too heavy and it has some good points and tips. Each month they take a layer and talk about some common security flaws, exploits and tips that are relevant to that layer. If you are new to security this is a good place to start. I remember when I first got into IT and was working on my Novell certification as I started studying network fundamentals the OSI stuff just blew me away. I thought why in the world would anyone ever want or need to know this stuff. Now I can't get by without it.
About Me
- Andy, ITGuy
- I've been in IT for 11 years. Sometime in 2000 I became interested in Security and started focusing my career in that direction. I am a CISSP and have a passion for Information Security. I have worked both "In the trenches" and in managerial positions in IT. I started blogging because I wanted to have a place to express my thoughts and opinions on security. Hopefully someone else will gain something from what I have to say.
