[Beginner info for online / computer security]

Thanks for both of your replies, I appreciate it.

Apologies for jumping the gun & starting a new thread, I'd a fair idea my question had been asked 100 times before. It's just knowing where to start out / impatience.

So much information / variables to take in. Lurking mode [on] off.

Thanks guys.

[Beginner info for online / computer security]

Hi Hak5 community

I'm hoping someone can help point me in the right direction here.

I'm a complete beginner in the "hacking", coding, online savy world & hoping to secure my computer and internet activity from prying eyes.

I've been a fan of hak5 for such a long time but you guys use such 'IT proffessional' terminology I'm really still none the wiser.

In laymans terms, for dummies:

Could someone take the time to point out some hak5 videos or tutorials to get me started in becoming more secure on my appliances / internet.

I've recently switched to Linux, from windows (which I absolutely adore). So made a good start (I think). What with encryption etc.

Hope to hear back
