You seem to have a pretty good technical reading list. Something that I recommend for everyone that asks though is "A Gift of Fire" by Sara Baase. http://www.amazon.com/Gift-Fire-Ethical-Computing-Internet/dp/0136008488/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255101397&sr=8-1 Remember what Uncle Ben said. "...with great power. comes great responsibility." Sometimes learning the ethics of what you're doing, is just as important or even more so than knowing how to do it. If Pen Testing is your chosen track, then you're going to be put in some weird situations where the only thing that is going to save your butt at the end of the day are your ethics. -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Sebastian Schlag Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 4:02 AM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Penetration Testing Literature Hi, i'm a student of Applied Computer Science and currently preparing for a student research project on "Systematic Penetration Testing". Right now i'm searching for literature. Currently i plan to read the following books: - Marc Ruef - Die Kunst des Penetration Testing - Thomas Wilhelm - Professional Penetration Testing: Creating and Operating a Formal Hacking Lab - Peter B. Kraft - Network Hacking: Professionelle Angriffs- und Verteidigungstechniken - Chris Hurley - Penetration Tester's Open Source Toolkit, Second Edition What do you think? What books would you recommend to read?
