C++ Network Programming

[Toxic]

I am looking at a carrer in Network Security after highschool, but I don't know how to program for networks. I would like to learn how the basics of backdoors, trojans, worms etc, and how they are coded. Don't get me wrong I don't want to make one but along the lines of those, I don't know the right term for it though, I guess it would be programming with protocols or something like that. Not to sure, could someone post some links to tutorials on Network Programming thanks.

look for socket programming.. Sockets are what allows a program to establish a connection..

Hope that helps.

Exactly, thanks time for google. ;)

This (http://www26.brinkster.com/smirc/project/links.html) should get you started. May the source be with you ;).

I found socket programming in Unix to be very easy (started after I mastered the basics of the C language). I imagine C++ socket programing is very similiar to C socket programing. Also recommend visiting your local book store and browsing advance programming books for the OS you want to code on.
