Hi all,
	I'm working my way through Avi Rubin's White Hat Security 
Arsenal: Talking the Threats.  It's quite good, and it might serve as 
a good text to start from.  He spends some time explaining philosophy 
and theory and then drives into analyzing specific situations and the 
tools available for securing them, and each section closes with a 
real world case study.

	Another possible is Hacker's Challenge, a book which walks 
you through 20 "ripped from the headlines" cases as mysteries, with 
clues throughout and solutions at the end.  (And yes, there are pages 
of logfiles in several of the problems.)

	One of these years I'll get around to writing up mini-reviews 
for these books and some others...

hope that helps, and count me in either way :)
