Specifically I need a good book for networking. Everything I can get protocols OSI model whatever.
>>53484773
I need a book to learn about Linux from the very core, so I could stop asking dumb questions and solve problems by myself.
>>53484773
This is what I used in school, it was pretty good but verbose.
Computer Networking - A Top Down Approach
Kurose/Ross
>>53485466
This book was recommended for my networking class
>>53485466
>>53485613
I just grabbed the 6th edition will look at it.
>>53485464
Bump for interest

I have a lot more so if you guys want me to keep going I will. I am sorry for how disorganized my links are. I also have a lesson plan I recommend to anyone looking to jump into compsci/data science/infosec.
>>53484773
Are you looking to get a certification (one that will get you a job), or just add to existing knowledge for use in your current job?
>>53486161
Bumping for this.
Especially if you have more about C/C++ , Python , Code Design and Algorithms

Give me whatever you got. Interesting in everything and working on a oracle dba thing starting in like 3 months.
>>53486215
I am going to do a oracle data base administrator thing in 3 months and I need as much networking knowledge before that as I can get. Also linux/unix command line stuff.
>>53486373
>>53486279
>>53486407
Let me get out of class and I will get my big list added. I love this stuff. Physical books have become a bit of a joke. You absolutely do not have to pay to learn about these things. There are only a few books that I feel make sense to purchase and they have to do with calc/stats/data parsing
>>53486407
A lot of that work is figure it out as you go, and knowing how to deal with people. You can be a total fuck up and keep a job as long as you keep good report with your boss/colleagues. (to an extent obviously) Is this your first job doing sysadmin/devops work?
>>53486872
Ya first tech job. The class is like 7 months of sat and sun so I wont actually be working at least a year. I have friends who got jobs this way though and if they can do it I wont have a problem. Just looking to immerse myself ahead of it.
>>53484773
"Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away" is all you need
Pirate the Cisco CCNA Networking Academy curriculum
>>53486927
All people seem to need data processing
>>53486928
I will do this when I get off work.
I am the guy from earlier. Just got out of class.
I am taking requests. Will post lists of any learning resource you are looking for. Will try to use as many free/open source learning resources as possible. I will respond to some stuff right now real quick
>>53487982
OP still lurking. Looking for networking and unix/linux but interested in anything.
>>53488134
working on this here it is long. I might now have links for everything.
>>53485466
>>53485613
>>53485663
THIS BOOK IS FUCKING SHIT FOR LEARNING PURPOSES. I had to use it for school and still have it on my desk but for reference. Learning networking from the top down is just a terrible, terrible way to learn. They often make references and assume you know shit they don't explain until LATER in the book. They wrote the book backwards to be edgy or someshit, its retarded.
>>53487982
>Will try to use as many free/open source learning resources as possible.
Which things have you linked that are actually free/open source?
>>53488437
He hasnt linked much yet.
>>53485464
in what respects ? as an end user ? Just get a Linux For Dummies type book.

Some things I recommend people should learn. I don't feel like finding my links.
Assembly Language
(Be a man and learn this shit)
-AT&T Syntax
Big Picture Computing
-Algorithms
-Data Structures
Implementing algorithms into code — literal computer engineering
-Program & Data Representation
-Advanced Algorithms
-Algorithms and their applications in big data/machine learning
-Mathematical foundations of computing
-Theory of computing
-OS Theory
Security
-Web Security
-Incident response (Practice makes perfect here)
-Linux kernel
-Malware analysis
-Binary exploitation/response
-Security implementation and theory
-How to read logs correctly and efficiently*
-Popular security products and how they work/underlying process
Okay nevermind 2 of 3
>>53484773
Networking
-Deep understanding of how the entire internet works
-Fiber
-How to make a Cat5 cable (you would be surprised)
-VPN’s
-TOR
-P2P networks
-cryptocurrencies
-Proxies
-You guys just seem to throw the above few terms around like nothing. Understand them.
Identify uncommon things in,
-Windows server
-Linux kernel
-Look at logs/running processes/in any OS and know by heart what is out of place
Learn vi/vim (I know you all love emacs, but you have to use vim most of the time on servers)
CLI/Bash will be very useful no matter what you are doing at work so learn this if anything. Don't fuck around with Zsh no matter how crazy cool it looks. You probably won't get to use it on that server you are SSH'd into across the world. Learn how to use SSH correctly and securely.
Get an RSS feed going and keep up to date with security breaches/new software/etc
Use GitHub (save scripts for work) and pocket a lot
Let me know if you guys have any questions. Don't buy books unless they are,
-How to Win Friends & Influence People
-Time Management for System Administrators
-Network Warrior
-Cisco IOS Cookbook
-Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams (3rd Edition)
-Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software
-How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading
-Any of the Dover's books on mathematics

>>53484773
Well, people are always asking how do I learn "x" so I thought I would list exactly what you should do learn a lot of very cool stuff (with a concentration on penetration testing but also computer-science/stuff in general):
Do these courses:
https://www.cybrary.it/course/comptia-network-plus/
https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-computer-science-harvardx-cs50x
https://www.codecademy.com/learn/python
http://opensecuritytraining.info/IntroX86.html
https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer
Don't skip over that because you know how to 'build' a computer aka put a computer together from parts; it is a course about building a computer from literal scratch aka: starting with logic gates, not a course on how to 'build a sweet gaming rig' or something.
https://www.cybrary.it/course/ethical-hacking/
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra
(Linked to the Algebra 1 but of course start at the level you are comfortable with; I would start on a level you are actually pretty knowledgeable on but might need a 'refresher' instead of going right into a level you know nothing about, to get into the swing of things again if it's been a while)
Read these books:
https://www.nostarch.com/pentesting
http://www.amazon.com/The-Shellcoders-Handbook-Discovering-Exploiting/dp/047008023X
https://www.nostarch.com/hacking2.htm
And now you don't have to spend weeks/however long pretending to 'research' what to do instead of actually starting to do things.
Of course there are many more that could be listed but that would just encourage the 'overwhelmed and still researching what should I do?' mindset.
>>53490173
Thanks.
>>53490173
https://www.coursera.org/learn/build-a-computer
I feel like I need to highlight and restress how great this course is, and it si COMPLETELY FREE.
You build a computer FROM SCRATCH.
So, you start with only a nand logic gate, build a chip-set using ONLY that, then build adders/arithmetic chips, then build RAM, then build a CPU, etc.
>>53485464
If you need something about the shell I would advise you to start from "The Linux Command Line" by William E. Shotts, I found this book one of the best for someone who is approaching linux shell as main resource rather than use Graphical User Interface, then you could proceed to a more compressive work as "Linux Bible".
If you need to understand how linux works I would recommend "How Linux Works: What Every Superuser Should Know" by Brian Ward
