Introduction to various Attack types

I just read a paper on preventing buffer overflow attacks and in that vein, I am looking for a paper or set of papers that will explain the various types of attacks that programmers and sysadmins have to worry about. Can anyone help? even a keywords to search ACM under.

Sadly, there is no such definitive document, or we could all read it and follow it's guidelines and be safe forever :)

There are a few organisations trying to provide information and guides on specifi areas, one of them is OWASP: http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Main_Page which has lots of good information, and a Top Ten list that contains the most common subset of attacks.

There is also CERT and OSVDB and many more (if anyone wants to make a definitive list of the websites, feel free to edit this post and add some.
