I loved this book, it now sitsin my Computer library as one of my favourite books. The usage of diagrams inside the book increases the readers enjoyment. Worth a look.
A must read - By: David E. Hamilton, 09 Apr 2000 
This is second best book I have ever read. Very hard to put down. This book has helped me with my internet & unix security. A must read for all Internet & Unix users
Must buy - By: , 26 Dec 1999 This book goes into UNIX 'security'in excellent detail. Whilst a lack of gloss & colour make the 1000 pages heavy going, the information that is included between the covers certainly covers the topicin hand & goes into great detailin the areas which really count. As Jamie says, the lengthy explanations of all topics covered mean you get a great understanding of all aspects of security, from the firewall to UNIX password cryptography to risk assessment. Having said that, 'newer' areas of security, such as next gen IDS & PKIs are missing, & an updated volume would be welcomed (please)
Security matters! - By: , 20 Dec 1999 In a world where security means everything, this book covers how to secure your server against the various hackers lurking out there. By various I do not mean to play it down, from one popular mailing list alone, over 600 web sites were defacedin a single month! If you don't want the same to happen to yours, it's books like these that will teach you the know-how!
This book beats them all!!! - By: , 31 May 1999 This book explains everythingin extreme detail. it doesn't just say "right - type this type that & your computer is safe" it helps you think about what the best plan for security is by targeting individual threats. it was just one of the clearest & well explained books I have ever read, i wasn't confused by any of the chapters because it was all so well explained!!!
