Where can I learn about networking?

  Old school recommendation, but the O’reilly book “Network Warrior” is actually a good read. It walks through common networking technologies, explains why they’re needed and how they’re used. Provides an excellent foundation of knowledge.

    If books are more to the OP’s liking, some that I’ve read that I’ve found useful:

    • Building a Home Cybersecurity Lab
    • Deep Dive into Linux Networking: Configuring Firewalls, VPNs, and Secure Connections
    • The Home Network Manual
    • Home Networking Bible

      Oh my. That Linux Upskill Challenge resource is right up my alley. Thank you for sharing.

  Honestly, Cisco still is king for this. Look for some CCNA training courses to get a proper education on networking. Just get the material, don’t worry about the exam.

  YouTube, CBT Nuggets, and INE all have plenty of courses.

    Yup. And the official training books are still a great resource for learning everything from the basics to more advanced stuff.

    I bought an updated set a couple of years ago, and they still hold up.

      I still reference my Cisco Press CCIE routing TCP/IP volume 1 and 2 from 2005

  Professor Messer’s videos are free and a good place to start. It’s prep for A+ and Network+

  Network Chuck’s earlier videos are pretty good, especially the You Suck At… series.

  Unfortunately he’s been pushing AI shit lately.

    They are archived for download at archive.org/details/NetworkChuck. That way you don’t have to jump through all of YT’s bs.

    At least the AI-related videos of his I’ve seen were about running models locally, and for a relatively legitimate use case (training speech to text and commanding Home Assistant), so it could be worse.

    Yeaaah was thinking the same… He got me into docker containers and I’m glad I did ! Nice and easy introduction :) but his last 10 or so videos are all about AI and stuff… ://

  There’s lots of good stuff on YouTube, including from David Bombal and Jeremy Cioara. If you’re more of a listening-while driving person, years ago the Security Now podcast did a “how the internet works” series that gives a terrific overview of the TCP/IP stack (it’s from 2006, but it’s still very applicable). And if you like to read, Michael Lucas just released a “Networking for Sysadmins” book, which is excellent.

  Hi! I really enjoy the THM service: tryhackme.com/module/networking They have a bunch of different modules to study. They do cater more to Cyber Security, but Networking is definitely included there!

  If you search for “data communications and networking” you will find alot of learning materials.

  Eg:

  Data Communication Tutorial

  Data Communication & Computer Network
