Cybersecurity Canon

This book list may not contain a lot of favorites that I've seen mentioned on HN in the past. Previous lists such as tptacek's suggested reading list definitely do not have entries in here.

It seems to be a mixed bag of technical, historical reference, and some inspirational/fiction material (e.g. Neuromancer).

So, I came across this site while I was skimming through a Palo Alto study guide to their PCCSA[0]. I had found it neat that they published materials for certificate students for free, and so I continued searching their site for more PDFs.

(quick note: certificate merit has been debated many times on HN[1])

After coming across another guide PA had composed for management-level decisionmakers[2] I found this site through a series of links.

One of the books from this list that I really like is Security Engineering. I found it odd that they don't have it categorized under any of their technical filters. They do give a brief overview of their reasoning for listing it here[3].
