Annotation

This book is essential reading for anyone wanting to protect
Internet-connected computers from unauthorized access. Coverage includes TCP/IP,
setting up firewalls, testing and maintaining firewalls, and much more. All of
the major important firewall products are covered including Microsoft Internet
Security and Acceleration Server (ISA), ISS BlackICE, Symantec Firewall, Check
Point NG, and PIX Firewall. Firewall configuration strategies and techniques are
covered in depth.

The book answers questions about firewalls, from How do I make Web/HTTP
work through my firewall? To What is a DMZ, and why do I want one? And What are
some common attacks, and how can I protect my system against them?

The Internet's explosive growth over the last decade has forced IT
professionals to work even harder to secure the private networks connected to
it--from erecting firewalls that keep out malicious intruders to building
virtual private networks (VPNs) that permit protected, fully encrypted
communications over the Internet's vulnerable public infrastructure.

The Best Damn Firewalls Book Period covers the most popular Firewall
products, from Cisco's PIX Firewall to Microsoft's ISA Server to CheckPoint NG,
and all the components of an effective firewall set up.

Anything needed to protect the perimeter of a network can be found in this
book.

- This book is all encompassing, covering general Firewall issues and
protocols, as well as specific products.
- Anyone studying for a security specific certification, such as SANS'
GIAC Certified Firewall Analyst (GCFW) will find this book an invaluable
resource.
- The only book to cover all major firewall products from A to Z:
CheckPoint, ISA Server,Symatec, BlackICE, PIX Firewall and Nokia
