[Full-disclosure] Re: [FD] Good security books

[Andrew J Caines <A.J.Caines@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,

> Any good security books fellow members have read recently and would
> like to recommend?

Bruce Schneier, "Secrets & Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World"[1]
and "Beyond Fear: Thinking Sensibly about Security in an Uncertain
World"[2].

Simson Garfinkel, Gene Spafford, Alan Schwartz, "Practical Unix & Internet
Security, 3rd Edition" and certain other O'Reilly[3] titles.

For the record, I've not read the last one recently, but am extrapolating
from the first edition.

If you want something more specific, then you should ask for it.


> There is a lot more quantity than quality now a days

"Teach Yourself Security for Dummies in 21 Days"
