Cybersecurity

Hey guys, new geek here, sorry I didnt see a intro section. But I do have a question and hope to make my stay here perma. I am interested in IT security, ands I really want to learn, I was hoping for whatever questions I had you guys could lead me through the narrowest path with a broad selection of knowledge to gain.

Let me make this clear, I am not here to ask how to hack I could care less, but I do want to know how this stuff works, securing every nut and bolt, even if it means breaking each piece into small bits for a better depth of understand. hopefully i will become certified and work for a large corp one day, My focus is linux cause its light weight and powerful.

I was hoping you guys would have something such as white papers or tutorials on where to start, do you guys have a table of contents on where to start for a a beginner such as myself, cause if so, point me there, maybe some suggestions to would help. I have tried googling it believe me, thats why i am here. I have many questions, and be not afraid they arent questions that cross the ethical line.

Did you read the forum rules?

What did the rules say about "a descriptive subject text"?

Do you think the subject "Hey guys" is a useful, descriptive subject text?

This post by abeja is another good example of how not to register and post here.

abeja registers and logs in asking for help and to be a part of the community, but does not take the time to read the handful of simple rules of posting here.

Then, when we point out this to the new poster, they hurl insults at the moderators and admins.
