    Does anyone have any good recommendations for books on Cryptography especially geared towards
    beginners? I have a few titles in mind already, I just don't want to leave out any good one's if I
    can help it. Thanks

    Murad, et al...

    Your best investment comes from New Riders publishing. They have a series
    of books focused on security mostly from and or by/overseen Stephen
    Northcutt. Network Intrusion Detection will teach you all about reading
    "the wire". Intrusion Signatures and Analysis will help you learn more and
    Network Perimeter Security is a good primer...

    Lots of luck.

    Back when you were a security nipper playing with netstat and gurgling =
    at the sight of portscans on your fisher price server, which book did =
    you use to learn security basics from?
    I've inherited a 50 node network and am just getting into learning how =
    to secure it.
    Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
