Hi everyone, I am a newbie in the world of information security. I have
received my MS in Information systems security but have sort of limited
knowledge about the practical world. I would appreciate it if someone can
give me some advice on where to start as far as practical knowledge goes on
personal level like in a home-lab environment, what would I need and where
should I start, should I work with Windows cuz that's what I know mostly but
I would really want to get some experience with linux and unix what sort of
tools should I use that are freely available. And what kind of home lab
should I setup I can have up to about 4 to 5 machines what would be the
ideal ideal and ideal setup for someone who has no clue about unix and
linux. Please advice
Your comments will be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Aamir
