    The bibles of security are the Hacking Exposed series books.
    The main ones you want are the main one (4th edition)
    Then the OS oriented: Linux, Windows 2000.
    Then get the Web Applications and finally hack Notes.

    O'reilly books
    Building Internet Firewalls is a plus
    Linux Server Hacks
    Practical Unix & Internet Security
    Computer Security Basics

    and of course as j.bilder recommended; stealing the network. How to own the
    box
    (Big fan of chapter 4, if only those chicks existed)

    It's not a how-to on hacking. It is a fictional work on hacking. Several
    short stories written by respected security guru's. While each story
    is "fictional" they do use real world tools and exploits.

    Hi All,

    I'd like your recommendations on computer & network security books ranging
    from books for the beginner in security
    to the expert pro. I'd also like to know if any has read "Fundamentals of
    Computer Security" by
    Pieprzyk, Hardjono, and Seberry and if so what is your opinion?

    I'm also looking for info on hacking, cracking, & the security of card
    readers, tablet pc's, pda's, & windows ce.
    Any add'l info, books, papers, etc. recommendations would be a great help.

    TIA,
    Kent
