Ok, due to popular demand, I'll set aside some time to find the CD
with that eBook collection on it. Thank you to those who have offered
to mirror them - I'll take you up on it just to be safe. =) When I get
them posted, I'll email you seperately so you can get them posted and
get a link available. Then I'll post all the available links to the
list and those who wish can grab.

Side note: Shawn, VERY well said! Learning the technology is the key
to understanding the basics (and beyond) of the hacker world. I'm not
sure if it was in this conversation or not, but I mentioned the
O'Reilly (http://www.oreilly.com/) series of books is fantastic for
beginners or professionals alike. They give you solid information
along with easy to follow scenarios. I believe I have some eBooks of
those as well, however I'll have to check which ones are freely
distributable.

I have a TON of eBooks that might be of interest to a lot of people
here. Maybe I'll look into doing a distribution through BitTorrent
instead of HTTP links. We'll see...

I have this book and I can't say great, but good yes. I'll tell you why,
it's a good introduction for those just starting out. It get's the mind
curious about alot of topics which you can use other books to cover in more
detail.

This is not a book for the serious security expert but good for students and
those just becoming curious about computer security.

It seems that all of the reviewers on Amazon seem to disagree with you.



Why do you think it was a great book, could you give us a quick review of
it
in your own words.  It is hard to make one mind with such conflicting
evaluation where most reviewers on Amazon says it is garbage and you say
that it is great.

Thanks

Did you ever find the site you were looking for? I'm also thinking
about security but most people tell me to learn how to hack first
then get into security...
