Thanks alot!


I am also wondering about which books to get.

I looked around amazon.com and found alot that sound good, but not having a ton of money, nor time to read all of them. I was wondering if someone has been able to read these books and had some thoughts on them as far as good reading material for newbies

White-Hat Security Arsenal: Tackling the Threats by Aviel D. Rubin


Counter Hack: A Step-by-Step Guide to Computer Attacks and Effective Defenses by Ed Skoudis



If there are some better ones. If you wouldn't mind posting them, Thanks!
