    More of an expansion to Iristheangel's how to start a security career post.

    No, I did not write this ebook but was asked by Peerlyst to spread the word a bit. I have written a few articles and a long forgotten out of print book LONG time ago but I am not responsible for this one. Bug me on Friday and I'll put it on my Kindle. At 69 pages shouldn't take more than 70 minutes or so to read.

    I actually contacted them and they said they will be sending me a free copy. Hopefully will get a chance to look it at first hand here soon.

    edit: just received a link to it... might take a look at it tonight

    I just sent an e-mail as well.

    EDIT: Received my copy as well. Was suspect about it because when I clicked on the link, a window in my phone said opening drive then said, error no connect. So I assumed the worst and was almost ready to kick myself. But then I copy/paste the link in a web browser and was able to see the book. Ill start it tonight.

    I have received it and gone through it. Overall a pretty good "basic" book for those wanting to enter the INFOSEC field. Each chapter done individually from numerous authors, really gives the reader a varied look at the field.

    Cool. Glad not to be embarrassed passing the information. Lost track, sometime ago of a list of 31 sub categories of InfoSec. To prepare a thorough documentation of all 31 would probably put this in the Shon Harris level of tome. Too much information. The field is so broad and deep it would be difficult to prepare anyone out the gate so to say with such a book... er, encyclopaedia?
