So much for the days of trusting everyone on-line to use software in the way that it was intended. Now the stakes are much higher, and attacking systems can be a profitable activity for those so inclined. To protect yourself, you need to understand the wide range of vulnerabilities. Reading Hacking Exposed (5th Edition) by Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray, and George Kurtz goes a long way towards getting you prepared.

Contents:
Part 1 - Casing the Establishment: Footprinting; Scanning; Enumeration
Part 2 - System Hacking: Hacking Windows; Hacking Unix; Remote Connectivity and VoIP Hacking

Hacking Exposed follows a consistent format in covering areas subject to misuse and attack. They name the type of attack or information gathering technique and give it a risk rating based on popularity, simplicity, and impact. Following an explanation of the particular area, they follow up with a countermeasure section to help the reader understand how this type of attack or exploit can be mitigated. That format scores high on my practicality scale because you can immediately make changes to secure your environment. It's not as if they just spell out the doom and gloom and leave you to fend for yourself.
