I took training on the same subject, and the instructor suggested "Hacking exposed" book.

Also, when you register for certification you will receive a kit.

Just helping out with omarfarid's post,

I recommend reading the reviews at Amazon for all three of these books that we've linked to. Amazon's reviews are a great resource for information about the particular products they sell. There are quite a few helpful reviews on these books.
