Is there a book like pic related for networking? Something highly

Check out "Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach" by Kurose and Ross. Very thorough and detailed book.

UNIX Network Programming

I 2nd this.

>>8678411
this

make sure to get the 7th edition as there are real differences between the 6th and 7th.

sadly, I am unable to locate the 7th anywhere online and had to purchase a physical copy. If any anon is able to provide a copy of

amazon com/Computer-Networking-Top-Down-Approach-7th/dp/0133594149

you will be a god among men

>uses java

crap

>>8678683
it uses python you retard

>>8678685
at any rate, there is hardly any programming involved
for the most part the book covers protocols. not implementations

>>8678683
oh look another "hurr java sux. OOP stoopid" parrots

>>8678411
i love this book

it's fun to try to figure out how these things are implemented in your favorite language, and then just giving up and creating your own virtual network simulator

Read the RFCs/play around with sockets (C).
The CCNA/etc cert books are also quite useful, but I have yet to come across a comprehensive guide that covers *everything* for a seasoned network architect/engineer.

Thanks for the advice guys.

For example, I just connected to a state tax department (not my state) to pay some taxes. I had to register an account. But I honestly have no idea how to confirm that I logged into their site, and not a perfect impostor. Between those 3 suggestions, I ought to be able to answer this, I presume?

That's just one example, and I know it's more high-level than nitty-gritty, but I hope it gets my point across. I think it has something to do with DNS and SSL certificates, but I could hardly explain what those are, and how I know it's not being spoofed.

Network security is a different subject, and it's closer to pure math, but it should be at least quoted by kurose book

>>8678411
fuck you shill. shitty book for literal brainlets who need extensive explaination of the simplest issues. Kurose is a huge waste of time, and very superficial too

>>8679466
OP here, what would you suggest?

>>8679463
Okay, maybe that's what I'm looking for then. I always figured the best way to understand security is through an understanding of how the systems operate. What's an appropriate book for network security?

>no idea how to confirm

You can only believe (not think) in 100% (perfection). No one can confirm with certainty. There are lots of scammers, cheats and liars out there (bad people), with not a clue how to be positive, useful members of society. They have lots of time in their worthless lives but cause problems. Everyone, including them, suffers from perverted data (lies).

not everyone was able to pick up little bits of networking knowledge over the years as a result of being a shut-in.

yes, if you don't know shit about networking, or barely anything about it, then a book like a top down approach is appropriate where everything is explained in detail
