Intro to Security

A few weeks back now, someone posted a link to a website which contained more links to free computer books convering various topics like programming, OSes, networking, etc...

The link was: http://www.intelinfo.com/free_computer_books.html

After thouroughly ransacking what the site had to offer, I came across the following Intro to Security guide:
http://www.hipaadvisory.com/tech/Manual99Pdf.pdf

It's an introductory security guide that covers a good range of (white-hat) security topics at a very basic level all in one spot. I've already had a copy printed and bound for myself and while I haven't read it cover to cover yet, I plan to shortly. Judging from what I have skimmed, it looks to be perfect for the absolute beginner. I highly recommend it to all AO members who are either complete newbies or somewhere between newbie and intermediate understanding.

Opinions of this text are welcome...

Enjoy all,

Liquid Matrix in general is a pretty good site for info. Take a look around.
