RE: IT Security: Sources and War Stories

["Johan Hiemstra" <webmaster -at- techexams -dot- net>]

Hi Jens,

I consider all of the following a must read in your situation:

- The Art of Deception (by Kevin Mitnick)
- The Art of Intrusion (by Kevin Mitnick)
(These two are the best sources you can get for 'war stories'.

- Hacking Exposed ( www.hackingexposed.com )

- My TechNotes for the Security+ exam:
www.techexams.net/co_securityplus.shtml

Also check out www.securitydocs.com

I hope this helps, and good luck, sounds like a great project.

Johan Hiemstra
