Amit, The best place I found when I started looking up common attacks was the Hacking Exposed series. This gave me a great insight into not just the attacks themselves, but the methods that people use. These series of books come highly recommended by myself and my collegues, and should be available from all on-line book retailers. The first of the three books below is a generic cross platform book and an excellent place to start. If you are after more OS specific books then the next two deal with *nix and Windows in more detail.
