    Hi, I've been looking at security and penetration-testing for some
    time now and would like to get further into it. I'd like to learn
    more about penetration-testing, forensics, techniques for network
    exploration/mapping, web application security and incedent handling.
    However I'm not really sure where to start, I looked at the OSSTMM and
    it was above my head.

    At the moment I have a very limited budget and only a few spare
    low-end computers. If it matters, I'm mainly running OpenBSD. Are
    there any particular books or other media that I should take a look at?

    Any thoughts or recommendations are welcomed and greatly appreciated.

    -Chris Benedict
