HOWEVER setting up iptables (in the basic sense) doesn't require an entire book. Sure there are whole books on that topic but there is no need for a 300 page book on it, that just seems to be the size computer books have to be in order to get published. Which means other books on iptables are probably going to about 250 pages of fluff. Incidentally this book actually only spends about the first 35 pages describing that, the remainder is fantastic, useful, well written information about doing the things that make iptables truly useful. "detection and response" ACTIVELY securing your system. In addition to being comprehensive and useful this book happens to be well written, far better than most technical books. If you're thinking about buying a book on Linux firewalls, make it this one, but if you're not already familiar with iptables expect to read the first 35 pages, then a couple online tutorials and then come back to this book. Review: Great book for setting up Linux firewalls/routers - Who needs a specialist distro or Vyatta? Get this book and you'll be up and running in no time. I thought the content was presented in a logical manner, concise, clear and very informative. From IPTables novice to expert, there is a lot of good information in this book. If you want to understand the inner-workings of firewall based distros or products like Vyatta - or Brocade, whatever they call themselves these days - this is a good start. It introduces IPS/IDS basics, how to configure adaptive firewalls, and following the examples you will have the ability to set up a good, secure firewall in no time. I certainly recommend this book to anyone looking to get into the security field as well. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002N3M6S6 | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,095,527 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #734 in Linux Operating System #905 in Linux #1,205 in Online Safety & Piracy | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (37) | | Edition | 1st | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 1.7 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-1593272289 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 593 pages | | Publication date | September 7, 2007 | | Publisher | No Starch Press | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Not Enabled | | X-Ray | Not Enabled | ## Images ![Linux Firewalls: Attack Detection and Response - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81d4hcSY50L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCELLENT on what it's on, but it may not be on what you think. *by G***K on January 10, 2008* Make no mistake, this book is on what it says it's about "Attack Detection and Response with iptables, psad, and fwsnort" it contains very little information about setting up iptables to block unwanted external traffic.
