The complete Webmaster's guide to Website security.
Whether you have a Website, an intranet, or both, Protecting Your Website with Firewalls is your end-to-end resource for maximizing security. This highly readable, hands-on book covers all the security choices associated with virtually every Internet resource, including:
- WWW/HTTP.
- Conferencing.
- E-mail.
- FTP.
- News gateways/NNTP.
- Telnet.
Learn how firewalls, packet filtering, and proxy servers work—and how you can use them to protect your site with minimum cost, disruption, and complexity. Explore the leading HTTP security protocols, Secure-HTTP, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), as well as today's advanced authentication and encryption solutions.
Then, walk step-by-step through planning, implementing, and maintaining your firewall and related security technologies. Protecting Your Website with Firewalls includes detailed checklists, step-by-step instructions, and case studies to help you identify common security gaps at your site—and systematically close them.
Learn how to decide which resources are worth protecting—and which may not be worth the trouble. Finally, if you do have a break-in, the book shows you what to do next—both to improve security and to pursue the intruder.
The accompanying CD-ROM includes the comprehensive TIS security toolkit for Windows NT servers.
Protecting Your Website with Firewalls also contains comprehensive, up-to-date resource listings for:
- Tools that can identify weaknesses and improve authentication and passwords.
- Firewall products, resellers, and consultants.
- Software patches to enhance security.
Your Internet connection places your most critical business secrets at risk. With this conversational, thorough guide, you can dramatically reduce those risks now —and for years to come.

I need
12 Jan 2000
Format:Textbook Binding
I got this book today, it covers some interesting things but not what I am looking for. over a third of the book covers the cd, which is fine, but not what I bought the book for. So hopefully someone will read this and have an idea of another source. What I am looking for is simply a book/white paper/article that explains the format and ports needed to open up a firewall. As a firewall in its basic state shuts down all traffic and then you open it up via "rules" that tells the program
what ports etc to open to allow traffic for that device whether a web browser, irc, ftp, etc. The problem is I have not found anything that explains how to write the rules, nor what the normal ports are. I have been told there is no such creature, if this is true, then in my humble opinion, someone should write a book on it. IF you have any serious suggestions please e-mail me at iamgood@swbell.net or if you have done a firewall and have known my frustration, please e-mail me with examples and ports. there is also suppose to be a way to use ports you design for different things.
Thank you in advance
Bruce
PS I bought a retail firewall product for a couple reasons, first is I have a dsl line and second is to learn from.

Accurate depiction of real-world solutions
5 April 1997
Format:Textbook Binding
Goncalves puts an interesting and relevant spin on the world of firewalls and security. This is a must-buy for systems administrators as it brilliantly goes into the mind of the hacker. Others will also enjoy this book as it is easy to read and tries to minimize proprietary nomenclature associated with technical texts.
You will find many chapters devoted to real-world solutions to emerging problems in Internet security.
