Books about Computer Security

This is a collection of very good (from my point of view) material to

start or get better in different computer security areas.

I did this because although Internet is an amazing thing where you can

find tons of material, we have to admit that sometimes it can be very

difficult to tell apart good resources from bad ones.

Most of the material is listed in order of proficiency (or difficulty) in

a specific subject, so the first suggestion is generally the recommended

starting point.
