Some basic reading on system security?


This is a topic that keeps catching my eye, so I'm looking for books on computer and network security wrt linux. Are there any good books out there to get started with?

yep
something I've read..or watched

Offensive Security (watched)
CBT Linux security (watched)
Linux Troubleshooting bible
No.Starch.Press.Hacking.The.Art.of.Exploitation.2nd.Edition
CCNA study materials
Practical Packet Analysis - No Starch Press
No Starch Press Linux Firewalls
No.Starch.Press.Nagios.System.and.Network.Monitoring.May.2006
The Practice of System and Network Administrator


Computer and network security is very vast...so there are too many books.
Let's not forget Metasploit framework, Core impact and others
