Explains precisely how existing security products for computers are inadequate for working on the Internet; how to estimate security requirements, risks, and advantages in connecting to the Internet; and how to construct firewalls and take other security measures. For system administrators and advanced computer users. The list of information sources is limited to Internet addresses. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Amazon.com Review

Internet Firewalls and Network Security succeeds precisely because of its restricted focus: half of this book is devoted to firewalls and packet filters. After a comprehensive introduction to the architecture and theory of firewalls, the guide documents several commercial and noncommercial packages, including a shareware product included on the bundled CD-ROM.

One of the book's highlights is a fine chapter on defining a network policy. Coauthor Chris Hare is a contributor to SysAdmin magazine, and it shows. This section feels like it was written for real-world network administrators, whether beginning or experienced. There are some weaker points, including an introduction to TCP/IP and Unix basics with too many details for the beginner and too few for the expert. But these flaws are more than offset by the depth of information you'll find on the book's core subjects.

From Library Journal

To some, a firewall is the alpha and omega of computing security. Running a computer to filter and protect your network will guard you from many dangers, they claim. To others, a firewall is just one more challenge to overcome in finding electronic jewels on servers and other machines in an organization. In two parts and several appendixes, Siyan and Hare examine the basic problems in networking and the specific means to filter traffic and deter security troubles. First, they discuss TCP/IP, networking, and network policy. Second, they examine screening routers and packet filters with plenty of helpful illustrations. While they do not offer detailed coverage of the broad range of topics found in Network Security because they tackle just one subset of the security spectrum, Siyan and Hare have done an admirable job in making that complicated topic understandable.

Best suited for an intermediate network administrator.

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 1998

If you have already read TCP/IP Illustrated Vol 1, don't waste your time with this book. It had a useful chapter about access lists on Ciscos, but other than that I found it to be a very long (410 pages) of review material.
