Yup. Go to Spaff's Hotlist and work your way outward. It is here:
http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/spaf/hotlists/csec-top.html
That is the home of Big Eugene Spafford and he has assembled an
excellent collection. I would suggest (though it might be heresy) that
you use an agent of some kind. (Though, if you do it, bring Spaff's
links local to your machine. Don't..uh...run the agent against Spaff's
page or nuthin' like that. :-) Load the links into a bookmark file, feed
the file to an agent and keep installing storage media until the job is
done. If you start at 2:00 a.m., you'll be done by 6. Then, when you've
got the time, fashion a nice PERL script to incisive pare it down to
matters that you perceive as ones of relevance.
