Mailing lists:

Pen-Tests on security-focus
Full Disclosure


Sites:

http://www.bsrf.org.uk
http://www.arson-network.com
http://www.infosecwriters.com
http://neworder.box.sk


Books:
 (Need to be more specific to a topic)

These are a good place to start. These sites are pretty generic, if you
have a specific topic you'd like to work on books would be better, but
books that try to cover everything aren't generally that good, better to
choose books focused on one aspect of security such as firewalls, eploit
coding, IDS's etc.....
