Oh, looks like I have 100+ in Delicious: adynamik1's infosec Bookmarks on Delicious

I haven't used those (or Delicious) for a very long time, so that's all probably going to be a mess. There's probably a few good links in there though. I think I made all the midget pr0n sites private, but proceed at your own risk.

I agree, but it needs to be moved out of the Security+ sub-forum though.

Done.

Just stuck it earlier as I had limited time..but you are correct, it does directly not pertain to Sec+ exam (even though it may suppliment ones study) this material is rather broad and beneficial in a number of areas of IT.

Man, I'm surprised I had to scroll down that far to find this link; should've been one of the first!

Also:

and

I'm seeing a lot of cool security sites but the really cool ones are those ones that are private. The same holds true of chat rooms and such I join some security related chat rooms on IRC and there is all kinds of interesting compsec discussion and even some demonstrations

mackdieselx27

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Krebs on Security.

Jinverar

The Radar security page is updated all the time and the tickers can be posted on our own security websites. Has all the latest threats. I would give the radar page 5 Stars.

securityfocus is good

colemic

ARS Technica also has some good reads.

Cyberhooligan

I wonder how much time you guys spend on these blogs and feeds everyday?

NightShade03

I put almost everything into an RSS reader (about 200+ sites) and pull updates once in the morning and once in the evening. I'll skim through all the headlines to get a sense of what is going on and then usually open anywhere from 10 - 15 articles for actual reading.

Remember that the security world is *very* small compared to other industries so much of the content is the same just taken from different perspectives.

docrice

Sometimes I can only spend 15 minutes, other times maybe an hour or more. It really depends on the work load. Keeping up is part of the maintenance in this profession, especially if you're in a technical role.

Nice collection, its really helpful, is there any site for mobile apps protection...?

Disas_main

Welcome to SecurityTube.net A lot of cons. are uploaded there.

Try using the app called fonegard. fonegard is basically a android app used for anti-theft protection.
