Readers familiar with the previous work of the authors–particularly the highly respected Stephen Northcutt–will recognize the style here. It doesn’t aim to teach you how to do much in particular–there are a few procedures, and some Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) command listings–but rather tries to show how to think about networks and the data that comes from them. In a typical section, the authors analyze a log from Tiny Personal Firewall. They highlight the facts that are present in the log and the inferences that can be made from them. A similar style helps you master software tools and make network design decisions. This book is perfect for a network engineer wanting to improve his or her security skills for both design and administration purposes. –David WallTopics covered: How to design networks’ borders for maximum security, and how to monitor them for unauthorized activity. After an introduction to firewalls, packet filtering, and access lists, the authors explain how to set up routers, special-purpose firewalls, and general-purpose hosts with security in mind. A large section has to do with security-conscious design, both for green field projects and existing networks that need expansion or improvement.
