Thank you for the solid replies guys. I really appreciate them. I struggle with just sitting down with a book, because like one of you said, I need a problem to solve. However, going through forums and how to's, is how I've gathered much of my knowledge thus far. I don't want to continue with holes in my education. I know there are tons of fundamental things that I don't know. I realize that everytime I watch a hak5 video! So, I feel like a more instructional style of teaching, or even, yes, a video format is ideal. I would definitely benefit from a structured teaching method. That's why I was curious if sites like the above mentioned would be a good idea. But, if you think I can learn the basics on youtube, and supplement with texts, then maybe that's the way to go. I'd still love further input if there's anyone out there with a silver bullet. Thanks again, -Krum

I guess you could say that I'm a tech enthusiast, but admittedly a lazy programmer/coder. If I wanted to buckle down and learn linux, networking, and even other coding languages; where would I go? I want to be a skilled user and play with all the great toys out there (rubber ducky, pineapple, etc.). I know there is a 'google machine,' and I've looked at a lot of sites, but I would like some [pro] advice on which is the best. I'd even be willing to pay for it if I knew I was getting 'quality instruction.' For example, you can see a bunch of courses available at: http://itpro.tv/course-library/#/ But, before I pay out monthly $$$, and it is pricey, I wanna be sure I'm going the right direction. I want to do this right. Where can I go to learn from scratch and go all the way to intermediate to skilled knowledge? I am sincere in this venture. -Krum NSS30 NSS30
