I feel like expanding my l33tn3s. Are there any books you would recommend? I would be interested in Linux sysadmin stuff, reverse engineering, malware, binary exploitation, oh and books on Python and Bash and *nix fundamentals are never bad and i have been getting into GoLang as of late. If you know of any books/resources that deal with Go feel free to share them.
Thanks guys.

It's not about anything you asked for but our old pal Oplus wanted everyone to read "The Wasp Factory". Please do that if you haven't.

Man, why you gotta bring up Oplus? Nigga was dank was fuck until I trolled him just to be a nigga. Then he killed himself. I will definitly read the wasp factory in his honor. I miss that fucker.
There is a book I have called "Hacking: The art of Exploitation". Probably a little beginner for you but it primarily deal in C for the programming. It does get into bash. And it comes with a disk with a linux based environment to play with. Might be up your alley even if it just provides review.

let's start with these:
for malware analysis: - practical malware analysis, michael sikorski
if you're into steganography: - disappearing cryptography, peter wayner
nice one for python&crypto: - hacking secret ciphers with python, albert sweigart
I second "hacking the art of exploitation" too.
If the thread keeps going and I won't have killed myself yet, I'll add few other good recommendations

There's one with this guy in the cover looking at a computer intently and it just totally looks like he knows what he's doing. I wish I could remember the name because THAT'S THE ONE. I can just tell. Whoever said you can't judge a book by it's cover simply had to have had poor judgement.

Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne's "Dinosaur Book" is the standard operating systems text which leans more heavily on the linux kernel to draw examples than others for obvious reasons. Regardless of what operating system you intend to work with, the material there is pretty essential if you want to get down the the kernel level. It's dense but actually fairly readable.
Handbook of Applied Cryptography is largely a refrence volume for various algorithms and cryptoschemes (most of Bouncy Castle's implementations refrence a page out of Handbook) but the first two chapters give a general overview of cryptography as an applied practice and is pretty interesting even outside the context of a particular problem.

I wouldn't mind lex and yacc and DNS and BIND if you're grabbing the whole set.

DNS and Bind seems interesting.

Can't get past retarded add sites though, re-up to a less retarded place pl0x. Volafile it perhaps.

I feel like books alternate between being too slow or too fast paced and in pdf format doesn't lend itself to skipping around. That said I've been trying to get through Introduction to Algorithms, MIT press. It hasn't been extraordinarily helpful for stuff that I'd actually apply besides exercising my thinker.
