Hey Jason and other EUGLUG members--
I am happy to send free O'Reilly, No Starch, Sygress, Paraglyph, and Pragmatic Bookshelf books to anyone for review. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/prdindex.html
We love to hear feedback good or bad...
It would be cool to have a review posted on this list and/or on a site such as Amazon, etc.
Let me know if you are interested.

Hey list:
Well, I read enough bad computer books, so I figured I'd take a few minutes to throw out a few good words about some books I've recently added to the collection.
Exploiting Software. Hoglund & McGraw. I think this one has become/is becoming the standard in this area of security. It's heavily technical and quite comprehensive. Experience with debuggers, etc. (tools like IDA, SoftIce, OllyDbg) is useful. Everything you ever wanted to know about malicious input, overflows, etc. If you are looking for how to write secure code, look elsewhere (e.g. the author's other book). The 'attack patterns' interspersed throughout are informative, especially RE: a number of software security fundamentals.
The Linux Networking Architecture. Wehrle, et. al. Very technical look at networking in the Linux kernel. Runs through the basic kernel structure, network devices, TCP/UDP, etc. Should be useful to the network coding folk out there.
Real 802.11 Security: Wi-Fi Protected Access and 802.11i. Edney and Arbaugh. Again, I think this one will become a/the standard guide in this area. I especially liked the lucid walkthrough of 802.1x and RSN (Robust Security Network). Will be most useful for folks needed solutions for large scale wireless nets.
Of course, these are just my opinions, YMMV.
Jason
