Open Door Networks recently updated our security book, Internet Security for Your Macintosh (written by Alan Oppenheimer and Charles Whitaker, both of Open Door Networks) and integrated the book into the Who's There? Firewall Advisor and DoorStop X. The book contains a wealth of security information for Macintosh users, and its integration with these products helps you learn about and understand the details and underlying issues associated with securing your Mac. The book can be accessed in two ways.

Browsing

First, the book can be browsed from the Book menu. From the Book menu, choose a chapter and then a section. Who's There? will invoke your default Web browser, and have it open the specified section page.

Information on a specific service

Second, information on most specific services can be displayed. Whenever a specific service has been specified, Who's There? can have your default browser display an index of entries in the book that relate to the service. Specifying a service means either of the following:

• Select an item in the "Protect these services" list in the main window, and then click the "eBook" button below the list, or choose "View eBook for ..." from the Book menu.
• Select a service from the Service Information dialog, and then click the "eBook" button at the bottom of the dialog, or choose "View eBook for ..." from the Book menu.

Either of these ways causes your default browser to display the relevant entries in the book. See Figure 1.

A list of relevant passages is displayed on the left, with the text of passages displayed on the right. If there is nothing in the book that corresponds to a service, you'll see a list of passages that relate to unknown services.
