Books

Note

You can get many these books online using (and, thereby, supporting) something like Anna's Archive. That said, I have physical copies of many of these books as well. Supporting the author is a great choice, too!

Tip

I use Okular to read and take notes in my books. Check it out!

Note

Much like the books, you can get these papers either directly from the source or with Sci-Hub or Anna's Archive. If you have trouble getting something, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Footnotes

1. I recommend this book because it contains sections on TCP/IP, UDP, and DHCP stuff. Don't code if you don't want to. Do learn about important networking concepts whether you want to or not! ↩

2. Yes, these are two different sources. ↩
