Further reading
There are so many books that I could recommend you go and read. It's very difficult to cut it down to a few specific ones, but if I have to, it'll be the following:
- The Web App Hacker's Handbook, Dafydd Stuttard and Marcus Pinto, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
This is the key book for the web app testing world. Dafydd (the man behind Burp) and Marcus cover just about everything you need to know. They also do live readings and give the occasional update. It covers a lot in depth and weighs as much as you would expect. If you would like to learn more about web app testing, read this book.
- Network Security Assessment, Chris McNab, O'Rielly Media.
This book is a guide to infrastructure that I wish I'd read when I was still in school. This is one of the best guides to network security testing I've encountered.
- Backtrack 5 Wireless Penetration Testing Beginner's Guide, Vivek Ramachandran, Packt Publishing.
This is a seminal book on wireless testing....
