I have been keeping a list of books I used to augment my CS Masters Degree courses on various topics, here are the relevant ones I have found useful for the topics you have listed: --Computer Organization--: Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Systems-Programmers-Randal-Bryant/dp/013034074X http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Systems-Programmers-Randal-Br... I liked this much better than Computer Organization and Design by Patterson and Hennessy which everyone has encountered at some point. The developer-centric view was very cool. --Computer Security--: Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Kernel-Exploitation-Attacking-Core/dp/1597494860 http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Kernel-Exploitation-Attacking-Co... Most 'hacking' books are goofy. This one is very good and doubles nicely as a hackers operating systems text. Web Application Hackers Handbook http://www.amazon.com/Web-Application-Hackers-Handbook-Discovering/dp/0470170778/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1325359556&sr=1-2 http://www.amazon.com/Web-Application-Hackers-Handbook-Disco... Very nice overview for web concerns. --Operating Systems-: Operating System Design and Implementation http://www.amazon.com/Operating-Systems-Design-Implementation-3rd/dp/0131429388/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1325359588&sr=8-3 http://www.amazon.com/Operating-Systems-Design-Implementatio... I don't agree with Tanenbaum's views on micro vs. monolithic kernels but this book is a great mix of theory and implementation. Linux Kernel Devleopment http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Kernel-Development-Robert-Love/dp/0672329468/ref=dp_ob_title_bk http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Kernel-Development-Robert-Love/d... I used this to get a feel for the monolithic implementations of topics covered by Tanenbaum. --Networking--: TCP/IP Illustrated Series. More than you would ever want to know.
