Hello, guys! I'm interested in computer security, but I'm pretty new to the topic. Anyone knows a good book to start with?
Learning computer security
8 days later
your best bet would be forum instead of books man.
and i would recommend starting with the network basics
and i would recommend starting with the network basics
Theres a course given on youtube called cryptography by christof paar teaches you all the basics.
I would say security is a very broad topic, it ranges from web coding security to network security to server's security
Which one do you want to start with?

Anything specicfic?
CISSP : 6 hours exam .. still not passed :D
I think he want to learn and know how to protect he's own computer
very easy : disable your wireless card ( and bluetooth as well ) .. remove your network cable .. disable your CD . usb ports ,memory card , any extensions , etc and you should be safe ( i hope :P )dduetto wroteI think he want to learn and know how to protect he's own computer
why not Get rid of his pc, he'll be safe, i think))Stygmata wrotevery easy : disable your wireless card ( and bluetooth as well ) .. remove your network cable .. disable your CD . usb ports ,memory card , any extensions , etc and you should be safe ( i hope )dduetto wroteI think he want to learn and know how to protect he's own computer
Even better ..throw away your phone ..remove the chip from your car ..smart tv..ipod..game consoleNuclearVision wrotewhy not Get rid of his pc, he'll be safe, i think))Stygmata wrotevery easy : disable your wireless card ( and bluetooth as well ) .. remove your network cable .. disable your CD . usb ports ,memory card , any extensions , etc and you should be safe ( i hope )dduetto wroteI think he want to learn and know how to protect he's own computer
I've read some articles while back that there are backdoor to the disk hardware. So might need to get rid of the disk too.Stygmata wrotevery easy : disable your wireless card ( and bluetooth as well ) .. remove your network cable .. disable your CD . usb ports ,memory card , any extensions , etc and you should be safe ( i hope )dduetto wroteI think he want to learn and know how to protect he's own computer
But you need a way to reach the disk unless the software is coded before installationrtp wroteI've read some articles while back that there are backdoor to the disk hardware.

Like i said the malware needs to be installed locally or remotely ..so if you have no connection or access to the pc you are not able to install the malware and hack the hdd
Certificate with CompTIA Security+
Even an abacus can be hacked :PStygmata wroteBut you need a way to reach the disk unless the software is coded before installationrtp wroteI've read some articles while back that there are backdoor to the disk hardware.

Thank you all for your replies.
I'd say I'm very interested in all three, but mostly web coding security and cryptography, I guess, so to say(I'm going to start my reasearch soon because I don't really know how computer security branches out). And I'm doing this because I'm just really interested in computer security in general; protecting my own pc is just a byproduct of that and not the main reason.Hybrid wroteI would say security is a very broad topic, it ranges from web coding security to network security to server's security

IMHO,
if you want to know anything about a system you should know how it works.
Let's say you want to know web security, start learning first what's the HTTP protocol and how it works.
Cryptography is a bit complex. It's based somehow on mathematics. So I suggest you divide your work.

I can send you a pdf file that covers privacy, crime, and security in computer science if interested.
