Hello ian_r_h,
Linux Bible 9th Edition (part 5 of book has chapters on basic security and advanced security).
On 12th December a new book is coming out called "Cracking Codes with Python by Al Sweigart", it's available on pre- order.
I have some of his other Python books and like his writing style it is project based, rather than theory only, so it makes it enjoyable, and fun/easy to learn from.
Python is useful to learn as some pen testing and black hat apps are wrote using Python, so it enables you to understand how/why they work by reading their code.
You wont have wasted the time learning Python as you can make some interesting things with it, join in projects, or create your own others may like and want to improve on.
