I do appreciate the response and with all due respect, I actually looked at that threat before posting. The issue I had with it was it was started over a decade ago, some of the links are no longer good and the fact that there really hasn't been any valuable informational updates to it in some time now. Last post I saw on it was in April and if I am not mistaken it was actually a question of "if that thread had been updated since it was a decade old thread".
I 100% agree that I should and am willing to search and look on my own. I have actually, there were a couple of threads that I looked at after posting this and checked out the links in those. I apologize if I offended you or if its a question that gets asked everyday and it gets old, trust me I get it and completely understand. My issue is that the INFOSEC/Security Ops field is extremely vast and I am just trying to get a little direction on a good starting point.
Again I appreciate your response and I apologize if my post aggravated you in any way.
