Can someone please recommend me some good text, book or web page? Many thanks, cheers!
Although I consider the crew at Foundstone to be a bunch of 'sell outs' for having sold their company to McAfee, their "Hacking Exposed" books are a great place to start. (Note: Check them out at your local library first -- some are MUCH better than others.) Also, if you have about $400, buy the EC-Councils courseware for the Certified Ethical Hacker training. It is very tool oriented and packed full of good info. However, you will need to do a lot of online research for each topic in the course; the course does not stand on its own. Finally, attend a con.
