Exellent book for System admins concenred about security

This book does not only teach you about firewalls - it also teaches you the details of network security, hackers etc.. It helps you set up your own firewall from really small (DOS!) to huge networks. It has excellent case studies where the author gives accounts of his own real life experiences. It shows you how to set up and use the most popular firewalls around, and gives you excellent security tips. This book is not about theory, but it is about real life. If you are a systems admin who is concenerned about secuirty but do not know where to start from, then buy this book. NOW!. Jeremy Pullicino Malta

One of the best for people with little security background

I'm an admin. and needed to get up to speed on firewalls fast. This is a great introductory book. Follow this up with "Building internet firewalls" by Zwicky, (make sure to get the second edition). Couple that with some work and you will know as much about firewalls as any expert.

Finally a book for the administrator!

Firewalls 24seven is a well thought out and direct to the point book. No frills, packed with information that every System Adminstrator needs to know. I direct the day to day operations of a large military division of IT personnel and I've made this book required reading.
