I would like to start a thread on your favorite hacking books. Ones you read recently and taught you one or two new tricks, or ones that you read a decade ago and literally changed your way of thinking about hacking!!
I realize there are a lot of “how to hack facebook” shenanigans going on here, so hopefully such a thread will help set people on the right path to hacking…
Allow me to start first :

Books of old that shaped my hacking career (a bit outdated now but still great):

• The Art of Intrusion - The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders and Deceivers , Kevin Mitnick
• Counter Hack Reloaded - A Step-by-Step Guide to Computer Attacks and Effective Defenses, Ed Skoudis

Books that rocked my life recently:

• How to Hack Like a Legend - A hacker’s tale breaking into a secretive offshore company , Sparc Flow
• The Art of Memory Forensics - Detecting Malware and Threats in Windows, Linux, and Mac Memory

Your turn
