Good selection Jeff. =)
I'm also a fan of most any O'Reilly flavor (http://www.oreilly.com/).
While most of their books aren't geared towards "ethical hacking" in a
sense, they are VERY informative. The first step for any hacker is to
understand the protocols and procedures. Their TCP/IP book is a gem -
read that and have a copy of netcat on hand for some testing of your
own.

Hello,
I also thought "Hackers Beware" by Eric Cole was outstanding in
showing how to hack, and how to prevent it. I never review a book on
amazon but felt compelled to share my thoughts on this one. Very well
written book. Here is the amazon address:

Good luck to ya.

Did you ever find the site you were looking for? I'm also thinking about
security but most people tell me to learn how to hack first then get
into security...

Hi All,
Could you please let me know where should i start learning about
network, and web security, I have been using linux mainly for
several years, windows for a couple of years, and solaris from time to
time, I would like to consolidate my knoweldge regarding the above
operatings system through a deep exopsure to security. i am thinking of
books, mailing lists, and training courses, i also stumbled once on a
hacker group that would let you joing if you solve a puzzle, some kind
of message encryption, but i do not remmber the site any more, the main
objective is secure a career in network security.
