Summary: Good Book
Comment: The book covers security principles and applies them to Firewall-1. It has some good tips and shows how the underlying technology does the job. Although the book is difficult to navigate there is some really useful information in there. In a number of places the book corrects the Check Point documentation and gives further insight into the low level configuration that is seriously lacking in the Check Point manuals.

Rating: 1
Summary: Not really useful
Comment: This is an OK book if you have zero knowledge of CheckPoint products. If you're actively admin'ing an NG FW-1, please spend your money on a better books, as you'll end up being frustrated by the seemingly randomness of this book.

As an example, topics about licensing are non-existant. Those who admin FW-1 know the nightmare of CheckPoint licensing, which in reality could be discussed in an entire chapter of it's own.

Rating: 1
Summary: Great history of the Internet, poor coverage of subject
Comment: This book is a poor rehash of existing documentation. The installation chapters provide little or no additional insight, and closely resemble the available product documentation.

It does, however, provide in the first chapter a great history of the internet, and a primer on TCP/IP.

For people wanting to learn how Checkpoint works, there is no overview or description of what all the moving parts are, and there really isn't any sstep-by-step help that isn't already accessable via product documentation.

In short, if you need a book to give you insight, assistance or instruction on setting up a Check Point Firewall like I did (above and beyond the documents that accompany FW-1 or your firewall appliance) this isn't the book to get.
