Two books that are an excellent introduction to computer security are "Practical Unix and Internet Security" by Gene Spafford and Simson Garfinkel, and "Applied Cryptography" by Bruce Schneier. A few websites which provide excellent tutorials and up-to-date information about the present state of network security are Security Focus, PacketStorm Security and Security Tracker.

What are your future plans?


Professionally speaking, one of the items in my future plans agenda is to build a city-wide wireless network for my home city, Ahmedabad, more from a hobby and a community perspective rather than a commercial venture. Personally, I am thinking of embarking on a photography trek in the upper slopes of the Himalayas.
