Okay for discussing general ideas, but not much real world
Okay for discussing general ideas, but not much real world use. There's not a lot to be had from this book. They cover too much and discuss too much generalized topics and never really touch on any real-world working, intelligent firewall fules and uses. Just too much generalized fluff. You'll get more from a 'man page' on iptables and be able to put it to use, at least, compared to this. It is interesting, but there's too much generalization and fluff and not much someone can *use* from it.

very good book for networkers to understand security
bought this book after I brought up my own internet facing servers. coming from a networking background, the internet was an open space for me not until I read this book. This book tells you what kinds of security threats are out there, why and how you can protect your sites while still running all the services.
very interesting and humorous too. Thanks.

Worthless
I purchased this book in hopes to have a reference guide for Iptables/Netfilter or even CheckPoint, but was sadly misled. The book covers only theory of how to build a firewall, while sighting no practical examples. It covers protocols, ports, and common types of security threats, but again gives no practical examples of how to write chains, tables or rules to prevent these attacks. If your a newbie to system administration you will learn quite a bit from this book, but if your a system admin such as I am looking for a reference guide THIS IS NOT IT
