0 +BudMan 3,725 Posted October 13, 2013 While this in theory might be a good idea - in practice your 2 links so far are not very informative or worthy of links too. How is a thread with a link to a speed test site, where everyone posts theirs -- its a how many stairs/windows thread. Sure an the hell is not "internet basics". Or even good at explaining what a speed test is for that matter. As to that good network configuration thread -- what? That is a guy asking such a loaded question, and then getting hammered for more information.. A better link for speedtest would be just the wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedtest.net As to network -- this would be a better first link than that nonsense thread http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Barney T. 2,423 Posted October 13, 2013 ^ Done. Thanks, Budman. Please feel free to suggest as needed. You have lots of helpful posts and info, so I am hoping that you will give us the good stuff. :) Also, I will add links as the members recommend them. Thanks so much.

0 +BudMan 3,725 Posted October 13, 2013 Your welcome I guess - but really not sure speed testing should go there, but since "internet basics" is such a broad topic I guess you could fit most anything in there ;) You will want to redo your link title for the network configuration - that is not a good anything, its just a link to information of what makes up a network. I will try and come up with some links for your topics. Under Security, which I would not really call basics.. I would prob remove the basics from all the topics except for internet and network and security would be just that.. And FAQ kind of redundant since most all of these are FAQ ;) Under security for a start http://www.us-cert.gov/ http://osvdb.org/ http://www.sans.org/ http://nvd.nist.gov/ http://cve.mitre.org/ You might want some sub topics under Security and Networking and even Internet, etc. Under security sub sections you might have links to tools - some starters http://nmap.org/ http://www.tenable.com/products/nessus http://ettercap.github.io/ettercap/ http://www.wireshark.org/ Basic users and window users might want to take a look at for tools http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/security/cc184924.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39273 This could end up being really a lot of links, sine the topic is wide open ;) And we could have whole sections on 1 specific protocol such as dns ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
