### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***R on 4 October 2010*

This is an introductory text, that is entertainly written. I originally read the first edition of this book. While preparing a recent seminar I found that I wanted to reference it, but then realized that the material was somewhat dated. The second edition is from 2003, which is still 7 years old, but I find that the information is still very useful, the definition of a classic. More than a mere book on firewalls, this is a primer for the entire workings of the Internet Protocols. It has clear explanations of DNS, DHCP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, SSL, FTP and many other protocols without all the nitty gritty details that you'll find in a book like "TCP/IP Illustrated." <http://www.amazon.com/TCP-IP-Illustrated-Vol-Protocols/dp/0201633469>, which I recommend if you need more technical detail. The authors describe the risks associated with the protocols and strategies for protecting your systems. But, they go further, and explain other attacks and how they might circumvent the barriers that a sysadmin might erect. The exposition on Firewalls and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) begins in Part IV. There are specific strategies given for protecting several protocols. No specifics on CISCO PIX, sorry guys, the examples use software generally available on Unix (FreeBSD). But, that's mainly a syntax issue, the principles are the same for the large comercial firewall systems. But, once again, if you need specifics, you'll need to read the manuals. This book will give you the foundation to understand what you read in the manuals. Firewall manuals are dry in comparison and generally lack strategic recommendations. The first appendix does a decent job of explaining public key cryptography. The second appendix is "dated" though in that it attempts to give "links" to other resources. After 7+ years, you can imagine the problems with that. Likewise the bibliography mainly cites texts from the 1990's; although there is one reference from 1872: "Through the Looking Glass", Lewis Carroll. Typical of the entertaining quotes throughout the book, "When I use a word. . .it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less." And perhaps that's a fitting summary of this book's purpose, to familiarize you with the meanings of the "Carrollesque" words associated with Internet Security.
