Want to learn the basics of security in the computer world? If you do, then I'm glad you're here. I call myself the SecurityNovice and I will do my best to introduce you to security concepts from a normal person's perspective (as much as possible) as my goal is to make sure that the most number of people understand security issues. The more people are informed, the more our virtual world becomes a much more secure place.

Why SecurityNovice? Mainly because I see myself as always a novice as I (and you) will soon learn that the ideas of security are ever-changing day by day. New security issues crop up almost every day, new terms and ideas spring up, some concepts fade away, and more.

Because of this, what you will find on this site are stories (good and bad), security howto's, questions and answers, links to other interesting and related sites, and essentially everything you would need to get a grip on computer security. It's my little contribution to the security world.

I would also like to invite all novices to join me by posting your own comments and feedback to improve any article or webpage on this site. After all, we are all in this together right? Wink

Enjoy the site!
