RE: book recommendations

The bibles of security are the Hacking Exposed series books.
The main ones you want are the main one (4th edition)
Then the OS oriented: Linux, Windows 2000.
Then get the Web Applications and finally hack Notes.


O'reilly books
Building Internet Firewalls is a plus
Linux Server Hacks
Practical Unix & Internet Security
Computer Security Basics

and of course as j.bilder recommended; stealing the network. How to own the
box
(Big fan of chapter 4, if only those chicks existed)

It's not a how-to on hacking.  It is a fictional work on hacking.  Several
short stories written by respected security guru's.  While each story
is "fictional" they do use real world tools and exploits.

Hi All,

I'd like your recommendations on computer & network security books ranging
from books for the beginner in security
to the expert pro. I'd also like to know if any has read "Fundamentals of
Computer Security" by
Pieprzyk, Hardjono, and Seberry and if so what is your opinion?

I'm also looking for info on hacking, cracking, & the security of card
readers, tablet pc's, pda's, & windows ce.
Any add'l info, books, papers, etc. recommendations would be a great help.

TIA,
Kent
