I'm desperate to get into network security. I've being reading about the Offensive Security courses and all the people that take them are already in the field, most of them recomend to start with the Cisco courses, so I ask you guys for help. I want to know what is the best way to start, considering that I am just a "fan" without any college background and my only way to study is E-learning and that I'm not in the US.
Thanks in advance and forgive me if something is not write in a correct way.
Start by learning linux, that's a necessary basis. You'll need to learn a lot for IPv6, a lot of crap is spread about what you should know and which certifications you should have and such, reality is, not that many people are top network security specialists when it comes to IPv6 based network management.
