Thanks man. Ubuntu a good starting distro? How about Debian? I've been using a virtual machine to learn C and also a bit of the command line.

Linux Mint is good for noobs too. Debian not so much anymore.

I posted an archive of my university notes a while ago, covering a variety of first to fourth-year topics. You might be able to dig them up if you're lucky.

This board is slow and full of shitposts anyways, mods forbid someone makes an actually productive thread.

>>60464656
debian all the way.

Bumping for possibly more resources. How do you make the jump from theory to actual practical application? Reading through this book by Tanenbaum is cool and all, but I doubt I'll retain much information if I never actually use it in any meaningful way. Will we see cyberpunk become a reality in our lifetime?

>>60466788
Make notes. Models. Summarize. Repeat.
Don't be a bitch.

>>60464530
Start with Networking Essentials by Microsoft Press.

Some data collected from some facial recognition program on a public computer somewhere, iirc.

bumping for interest

The cyberpunk dystopia is literally now, we're already living it.

You just don't know enough to see it around you, but if you're serious about getting into networking you'll start noticing it the more you learn.

I guess you're right. I'm excited to learn more. Too bad TOR is just a bunch porn and it runs so slowly, and there's no body hacks yet. This dystopia sucks.

There's plenty of cool shit out there, private intranets, alternatives to the TCP stack being developed, packet radio, pirate w-meshes, drone swarms, for better or worse, in the very near future.

Right now you don't know WHAT you don't know, once you know enough to know what you don't know you'll know what to learn and what to disregard.

Unfortunately /g/ isn't the place for that sort of thing, there are better higher quality chans you might want to look into.

>better quality chans
So far my search for better communities has been largely unsuccessful.I know of one that's nice as soykaf but it's pretty inactive, it's like kicking whales down the beach. Other communities required either being invited, vouched for, or required proof of your skills and knowledge.

Bumping for chans, forums and IRC channels for 1337 /g/ h4xx0rz.

You can do it as a job. If you can't, then download Cisco's Packet Tracer and that will let you simulate networks and plug switches into servers and so on.

>>60464530
>Anyone have some good books for a complete beginner to get into this?
You don't really need anything, IP networking is extremely simple. Just start writing some simple UDP test programs, analyze the traffic with Wireshark, and you'll start understanding soon enough.

>>60470530
Truth here. There's an unbelievable amount of shit to be known constantly adding to itself every single day, thanks to the sheer number of different fields that exist.

You've no idea how much there is to know until you know a lot. Then you realize you know very little, but, as anon says, you know what to keep/look out for and what to ignore.

>>60464530
w-what is this anon?

try kurose Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach.
it will teach about how network works.

>>60472048
We used this book at my school. Nothing practical, though.

>>60464584
lol
no

well computer networks is good and installing a linux distro

but pfsense and haproxy won't help you with this shit...learn tensorflow

>>60471835
Literally the shittest of the shit.

You could start by setting an example, senpai.

>>60473220
Nah famalam, i'm baked as fuck right now and every time i try to effortpost in good faith it literally gets zero (0) (you)s, not counting my first post which is a rare exception for some reason.

I just come here to lurk and occasionally shitpost when i'm blazed and don't want to shit up other communities that aren't already festering shit mounds.

Some of the Cisco Press books are really good for basics and beyond. Though, most of it is naturally applicable to only cisco devices, but things like PPP and OSPF are cross-platform and the knowledge of how it works in concept and how to design a network is all there.

Fifth Edition - Computer Networking & the Internet by Fred Haskell

Just buy some textbooks and read them, has all the info you'll need in 'em

>>60464656
Debian for sure, Ubuntu was made from it, may as well get the original

Found this neat Linux tool called mininet, it lets you create virtual networks on your machine. It's available in a VM, as a binary or in source code.

mininet.org for those who are interested.

does anybody like packet tracer? I used it in my Cisco classes. It's kind of corny to me but it covers a lot of the basic concepts.

>>60464530
>pic

They aren't allowed to gather that kind of data without the consent of the people who are the source of the data. Cameras are acceptable for security reasons only, if you want to datamine anybody you need their permission. They only do this because they think they're gonna get away with it because nobody ain't gonna do shit about it. Hopefully they'll be proven very wrong.

>the splash screen with "people of color" smiling and looking likable while the two depicted white people not smiling and not looking very likable

>>60471048
And how would one go from dicking around in Packet Tracer or VM's to showing a potential employer what he knows and can actually do in practice? Its not simple like it is for example programmers, they basically have to write some software and then show it.

>>60479430
This is a good question

>>60479430
generally interviews for networking positions go through a few phases where one would talk to HR in which they'd ask a few questions and check off a few boxes. second round should have someone of a technical background that would pose hypothetical situations and the interviewee might whiteboard out a quick environment.

Generally speaking, one does not have to demonstrate the CLI ability, but rather prove they understand the concepts of routing, switching, vlans and the like.
