Np, np, here's my list:
Ive compiled my list of references a while ago, so theres lotsa stuff inhere you might not be interested in at this point, maybe later on, HTH:

Basic references:
- AUSCERT UNIX Computer Security Checklist (Version 1.1) www.cert.org/tech_tips/AUSCERT_checklist1.1
- Steps for Recovering from a UNIX or NT System Compromise www.cert.org/tech_tips/root_compromise.html
In fact read the whole of http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/
- The CIT Computer Security Handbook: www.cit.nih.gov/security/handbook.html
- Aging stuff from Phrack, good to read back to be sure, like "Unix System Security Issues" www.fc.net/phrack/files/p18/p18-7.html
- SEI stuff like www.sei.cmu.edu/publications/lists.html handling IDS
- Intrusion Detection and Network Auditing on the Internet www.infosyssec.net/infosyssec/intdet1.htm

Top it off with some reading material on security:
- Security tips: www.cert.org/tech_tips/ and www.cert.org/security-improvement/, http://www.securityportal.com/resear...xsecurity.html
- Top ten vulnerabilities: www.sans.org/topten.htm and http://www.cert.org/present/cert-ove...ends/index.htm
- Firewalling: www.infosyssec.net/infosyssec/firew1.htm, www.linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/
- Securing Xwindows: http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/usail/ex...d/xsecure.html


Neohapsis archives: http://www.neohapsis.com
Linux Gazette: http://www.linuxgazette.com
Experts exchange: http://www.experts-exchange.com
Linuxsecurity.com, SecurityFocus.com

Or, if ure just cruisin for links, try n read something else, search/visit these places/ppl that mean something: Sans, CERT, AUSCERT, Lance Spitz, dugsong, loki, Robert Graham, Dave Dittrich, Wietse Venema, Fyodor, Mixter, HCU and Immortal Descendants, Monark to name but a few.

A combination of Protocols & services is in the Linux Network Administrators Guide (NAG)
Else theres more brainfood at
Uri's TCP resource list: www.private.org.il/tcpip_rl.html,
Daryl's TCP/IP primer: www.tcpipprimer.com,
Teach Yourself TCP IP in 14 Days: www.sivik.org/Books/Teach Yourself TCP IP in 14 Days/
Macmillan's "Maximum Security",
O'Reilly's TCP/IP Network Administration

O'Reilly has a myriad of books of which, unfortunately for them, some can also be found online, just search for "O'reilly and bookshelf", "o'reilly reference bookshelf" or "o'reilly cd bookshelf" :-]
