Firewalls for Dummies, Second
Editionby Brian Komar, R.

With more and more
small-office and home computers being left connected to the
Internet at all times, the owners of those machines are being
faced with problems that used to confront only big operations.
The authors of Firewalls for Dummies
spread the message: everyone with a cable modem, data
satellite dish, or DSL connection needs
a firewall now. Thankfully, though, these guys go beyond
merely showing how to set up turnkey personal firewall
products too many Dummies books explain
the obvious and the generally intuitive and reveal how to set
up the sorts of firewalls that protect sizable networks. By
understanding these techniques, small operators can plan for
growth and improve their level of protection. What's more,
this book provides a serious explanation of corporate firewall
products and techniques that's appropriate for people who
build and maintain big systems.
The
authors generally steer away from showing how to configure
specific firewall products, though a few of the biggies
Microsoft Internet Security and
Acceleration Server,
BlackICE, ZoneAlarm,
& Check Point FireWall-1 get
comparative overview coverage. Mostly, they favor more general
firewall configuration strategies and techniques. These they
explain with a lot of prose, a fair number of conceptual
diagrams, and tables that sum up permission rules.
