Hello everyone,
After passing Security+ about two weeks ago, I have to say that this has opened my mind to a field of IT that I actually want to pursue completely. However, after reading/studying for Security+, I feel as though I don't really "know," anything other than what the exam covered. Can anyone recommend any good security books that will actually teach me about security in the real world, not simply for the purposes of an exam?
The closest that I have read to this was perhaps Syngress, which had actual step-by-step walkthroughs of performing attacks and securing servers. Awesome book for whoever is considering it.

I highly recommend the books by Richard Bejtlich and Stephen Northcutt. Highly technical. They should be a part of every security pro's library.
