Firewall Books
Hello All,
Can anyone recommend any good firewall books ? I'm looking more for a book that explains the underlining theory and concepts of firewalls in general and how they work, instead of just a book about a certain firewall and how to set it up?
Thanks for all useful posts.

In response to your question, and I might as well be the first to suggest this,
Firewalls for Dummies is as good as any to start with, use it as a reference, or, as I did,read it through, first though, select a firewall, and get it up and running. Read about them later !!!
so now I'm in my SIXTIES FFS
WTAF, how did that happen, so no more alterations to the sig, it will remain as is now

Well, there is the traditional Build Internet Firewalls by O'Reilly which is pretty good. There is also a new one that I've been considering that might be worthwhile to peruse (even to look at -- it is a bit of brick tho'): The Best Damn Firewall Book Period.

Well, you're thinking too narrow then. Don't think in pure book format. Use google for terms like "tutorial+firewall". You'd be surprised how much legitimately free material is out there if you just look.

Why not join a newsgroup or mailing list which is specifically for firewalls ?
Joining a newsgroup and mailing list might just be a good idea.
Just like how MsM has suggested using Google and other search engines can be quite good.
Note: Right now I can't remember the name[s] of the newsgroup[s] or mailing list[s] but once I find them I will post them.
