Hacking texts/books
Bojo-Pimp:
I'm young (16) but I feel my attitude in day-to-day life reflects that of a true hacker and not one of a spate of day to day hackers in today's society.
Are there any books you can recommend on the subject of hacking?

im going to /*misassume*/ that you are asking about the right definitino of hacking, which is progrmaing, and not cracking, breaking into computers
ok, orielly has a few good books on perl, c++, linux, and a few other langauges, go to the local book store, or library
ok, now if you want to learn about breaking into computers WRONG FORUM, go post it in the linux/unix forum, or the lounge,

Ummmm are you sure he won't get chewed out for posting cracking related questions in those forums either?
Although I suppose asking questions from the defender point of view would definitly be valid. IE:Im tierd of gettin rapped by these 31337 hackors in IRC. How do u avod this? ;)
On a sidenote about the whole hacker/cracker thing. I remember seeing a book at Costco called "Hackers challenge". It was obviously written from a defender perspective, but it called crackers, "Hackers". So obviously an author who confused those two isn't as computer adept as he thinks right? It's like having a doctor who smokes a pack a day or a dentist who doesn't take good care of his teeth.

Don't use IRC lol
In response to the original question the 'Unnoficial Guide to Ethical Hacking' is good book, but not very technical. Check it out at your local borders.

That's why I have always preferred the terms programming and programmer when referring to programming, and why I wish this forums name would be changed. I believe most people think of breaking in to computers and networks when the terms hacking and hacker are used.
