RE: Learning Network Security Basics

["Louie" <tech.louie () verizon net>]

I also need the stepping stone for this. I just started to take some basic
classes right now I am learning about the OSI how it work. But I really want
to get into security ... What books are good to have for a newbie? Plus I
also came up on 2 computers that I'm going to load linux or window for
testing...

Any links or forums that have good security would be greatful...
