RE: Video tutorials for beginners?

["Ken Kousky" <kkousky () ip3inc com>]

This is what I call the Google Gap - if you don't know what you're looking
for to begin with, you won't find it.
The best strategy is to find a good outline and understand the core concepts
you need to master.
If you're a DoD network defender you might want to worry about network
enumeration and specific tools like nmap.
Only AFTER you have a basic list, will google be much help. To get videos,
just use their video search - you'll see lots of nmap examples.
I also love the work that the community has done at Wikipedia. There's great
content and links that tie terms to other content but you're still best to
have an intro outline of concepts, terminology, etc. Also, be aware that
vendors, IEEE and other associations may all have different terms for the
same concept.
A search engine assists those knowledgeable in a field but is a very poor
learning mgmt system.
