Ben said Excellent book for a broad overview of Computer/Network Security. Counter Hack Reloaded (CHR) is an excellent book for someone looking for a broad overview of computer/network security written in a very clear, logical, and even enjoyable manner.After CHR's Introductory chapter, the reader is given an overview on Networking, Linux/Unix, and Windows.

A book on vulnerabilities, though, will get out of date, and so we definitely needed this updated and significantly rewritten second edition. You&
