***I'm a student still learning networking AND Security, butThis book may help you get in the right direction. It's a very good book, but it's pretty basic, however. In otherwords, it's for people (like me) who need things said plainly in people terms. I read this book and passed Security+ no problem. Having a good understanding of networking and how it actually works is a good start to security, and knowledge of ports is HUGE. Best of luck, and a little advice from a former thread I read:
"Don't learn to hack, hack to learn"
The books mentioned in your other thread and by /u/dreddriver are good and I would like to add RTFM and Malware Analysis: Investigating and Analyzing Malicious Code. The latter is a little dated but still relevant as far as live memory analysis goes, which is the bees knees in modern forensics.
Make sure to ISOLATE and SANDBOX. Download Metasploitable and Ultimate Lamp.
