I have started my first pre-requisite for the sans.edu Masters’ of Information Security Engineering program. This first class is SEC401: SANS Security Essentials. You can check out the description here. It is basically the foundational class for the whole InfoSec program, and as such, it deals with some pretty basic topics (Networking Fundamentals, IP & Routing Fundamentals) and moves to some more interesting stuff (Some basic Cryptography, Steganography, OPSEC, etc). I am doing the program from my laptop at home, and it will take me somwhere close to 80+ hours, then the test. I will be doing some posts on some interesting things that I come across as I am taking the class.
