Hi,

I am looking for any advise on the best book to go for, in order for one to
better understand and practically apply the methodology for penetration
testing. I have read a couple of books on security/vulnerability assessment
but I feel one need a little bit more than just security/vulnerability
assessment in order to master penetration testing. I have also been
following this listing for quite some time and now believe access to
exploits is an added advantage for pen testing, especially if you are not a
programmer, although this may be too dangerous. Which best sites for
exploits would you recommend?

Thanks

PJ
