Out of pure desire, I want to learn about Networks. I am basically a
beginning network programmer and I have this network at my disposal:
INTERNET
|
|
Netgear Router/Modem as FIREWALL
|
|
|
ADSL Modem
|
|
Switch

I want to break-into the Firewall and I think I need to do so through
Modem and Switch. I have Googled for "How routers work" and I get one
quality link for a beginner:
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/router.htm
Nearly all of the other links are not that good compared to this
article. I want some quality content, something real and solid base of
information because my experience says fundamentals are what that
separate the Hackers from morons. I am doing this just because I love
to explore the networks. I have just started a new job as a
programmer. Some time ago, with the help of some folk at IRC, I was
able to connect to my friend's computer 100 KM away from my place,
those were the happier moments. He was using Windows and I was using
Linux. After login into my machine, we started to chat using the talk
and write commands :)
So, any quality links of information on exploring and exploiting
networks ? I do not want to remain an average programmer for next 10
years. I have a desire to master network security. I somehow get
amazed at when I hear that two computers can talk to each other and
the language they use is called TCP/IP like we use English here to
communicate. As a matter of fact, to me, Its really amazing to hear
that two computers can talk to each other and it is much more
surprising that internet is just a whole monstrous collection of such
networks.
Thanks
