Re: FireWalls
I'm not saying that we shouldn't discuss this here, but another mailing
list, which is completely focused on the firewall topic, can be subscribed
to by sending e-mail to
majordomo@greatcircle.com
with a message body of
subscribe firewalls <your address>
...the reply message should include information about how to access the
approximately three years' worth of archive data from the list, as well.
There are quite a few good FTP sites with copies of the standard set of
papers (Bellovin, Cheswick, Ranum, Chapman, etc.) that one can start with
to get up to speed quickly;
research.att.com
ftp.tis.com
ftp.greatcircle.com
ftp.cert.org
...are just a few which come to mind.
Finally, there are lots of good books on this subject. Eugene Spafford
has written a pretty good introductory text entitled
Basic Unix Security (as I recall), O'Reilly & Associates
Then there is the now-classic text by Bellovin and Cheswick, whose exact
title eludes me at the moment but which includes the (sub)title
Fooling the Wily Hacker
(...don't recall whether its Addison-Wesley or Prentice-Hall as the
publisher, either; as you can tell, I'm conducting yet another experiement
in sleep deprivation this week :( )
Good luck, and happy reading.
