Out of date, but get the latest!

Woefully out of date by now, but still the best resource on Firewalls and Network Security around. Pick up the latest edition if you need this for a Networking Security class. Information is clear and understandable and examples are great

Nice Condition

I wish I could rave about how this book helped me ace my class but i can't. the instructor informed all of us that we weren't using this edition , but we were using the 3rd edition so i have had to put this back on Amazon for sale

Very happy with this purchase!

I got the book at a price much below what the college bookstore was asking. The book is brand new, and arrived in much less time than expected. I'm very happy with the service I received from the_book_depository_.

Lots of theory

Got the book for a class. It turns out the instructor wanted us to use the first edition and the college store (which lists what books we should buy) bought this version. The first edition had hands on labs that let you get some practical application and experience. The labs in this book are entirely: do an internet search, look up a term, define it in your own way, read some numbers off a page, or do a mini report. You will basically learn that there are things called firewalls, VPNs, and intrusion detection and all the theory behind them, but won't learn how to use any specific software or learn how they actually do it in the IT industry.

horrible review questions

I'm forced to learn from this book due to a networking class. I thought it would be a fun class learning about different hacker attacks. I was disappointed with what he gave us to read so far. First the book gives you asinine information about what forces of nature are a threat to networks. I would understand if they listed them, but no they explained what the event was, wasting a page in a half with common knowledge, such as "Flood-An overflowing of water onto land that is normally dry" & "Lighting-An, abrupt, discontinuous natural electric discharge in the atmosphere". The worst though, is the questions at the end in which we are tested on. They hark on odd definitions that many in an online community have assigned to other meanings. One of these cases is when they ask about the differences between vulnerability and a exploit, and a the difference between vulnerability and exposure.Now, I'm new to the subject so to others it may make sense, but to me they did a poor job of explaining definitions. On the bright side they give corny names to people in their examples like "Harriet Allthumbs" an employee who accidentally deleted the one copy of a critical report. I hope the book gets better as time goes on, but man for a hundred bucks you should look around if you have a choice.
