    I might recommend "Hacking Exposed". It's a good broad-level overview
    of security and hacking that includes a basic introduction to some of
    the technologies. It goes from giving you basics on TCP/IP to very
    specific recommendations on how to use 'nmap' and 'snort'... Good for
    the Intermediate computer geek who understands networks but may not
    grasp all of the intricacies of the protocols, etc.

    There are hundreds of others, but the first edition of this book (now in
    4th edition) is what got me started.
