I agree with the opinions about the books suggested here.
Undoubtedly "Hacking Exposed" is the best book around, written by
Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray and George Kurtz.

"Maximum Security" and "Maximum Linux Security" are not always the definite
source for
information. They sometimes lack some info, but for a beginner Maximum
Security would be a
nice start.

Another comment about the Maximum series is - guys SATAN is long gone ...
but they
still mention it as a premium tool, well yeah right.

The source for understanding TCP/IP is the wonderful book, written by the
late
author Stevens, TCP IP Illustrated Volume I.

Use Phrack archives to learn more about exploits and vulnerabilities.
When you see an article by Mudge, Aleph1, route or dildog  -  do yourself
a favor and read it!

Use www.securityfocus.com if you are looking for documentation with specific
subject.
The site has a very good documentation archive.

Hope this summery is helpful
