Also find a forum full of hackers. I suppose this one will do, but you may have to move on to others eventually. At minimum take those first 2 .txt's and a PDF (ideally not the first PDF if you only read one). If you need anything else I'll be around and I have plenty of other reading material.

You need a mindset, curiosity, persistence, and a language. The first one can be read about, the second you probably already have, and the last two have to be learned.

Thanks for letting me know, that link has been replaced with one that goes to the same book, but no longer gives that message. That was a new one.
