Looking for good sources of general computer/hacking/history knowledge

Hello! I am wondering if anyone can offer some good sources (books / movies / podcasts etc.) for any of the following topics:

  • information on large scale exploitations that altered the way computer systems are built
  • general history of computers and hacking
  • information on how common/known hacks work on a lower level (cross site scripting, ddos, phishing, wifi hacks etc.)

I've been learning a lot about programming in the past couple months, and just recently learned about penetration testing and that got me wondering how a lot of computer things might work on a lower level, and how people have come to exploit those things. Would be open to anything you thought might fit in that vein.

Thanks in advance! : D
