Format:Paperback
I enjoyed reading this book and found the book to be very informative and fairly easy to understand and follow. My knowledge of Firewalls,Intrusion Detection and VPNS has certainly benefited from reading this book.It may be a few years old now but alot of the contents remain valid.If you are studying Information Security and Network Security its certainly worth reading and will be provide some good reference material.

Major Disappointment
15 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
This book was required for a Computer Forensics related class. There are many errors, not just typographical, but in concepts and technical information. At times it is filled with a mind-numbing number of details, much of which will be obsolete by the time you read this. In other areas it skips over important concepts leaving you lost.
If you're hoping to learn more about network security you're better off looking elsewhere.

Don't waste your $$$
19 July 2004
Format:Paperback
After browsing it twice, I finally put it down.
It's very introductive, simple and not well-written to a newbie.
It doesn't cover that much on Checkpoint...
The rest you can get it from the Internet.

Would be good toilet paper, but the pages are too stiff
17 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is used as the text book for my college course. The examples are ridiculous, the exercises are nuts, and the definitions are strange. "This book is not intended to be read in sequence, from beginning to end." (from the book's introduction) Maybe the book isn't meant to be read at all. There is better information from O'Reilly and Cisco. Search for "firewall" on O'Reilly's site and you'll get better information than whats in this book and you'll save $75. Get "The Best Damn Firewall Book Period" instead of this, Amazon sells it for $37 and it gets 4 stars.
