Well there are a ton out there... but for the topics you have stated, I would recommend: Inside Network Perimeter Security by Stephen Northcutt et al.: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735712328/qid=1052548886/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-0346632-5200040?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 Encryption is a whole other matter... it depends on how deep you want to get... If you want a good explanation of cryptography without too much math: Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471117099/qid=1052548965/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/002-0346632-5200040 Or if you want a lot of math: The Handbook of Applied Cryptography by Alfred Menezes et al.: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0849385237/qid=1052548965/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_2/002-0346632-5200040 Browse around amazon.com... I have a ton of books so feel free to email me off-list if you have any other questions... Thanks, Shawn On Fri, 2003-05-09 at 19:58, Bjørn Rasmussen wrote:
Hi :-) Sorry for this a little bit off topic question. I hope it's ok, it's a simple one. Anybody who can recommend a good general security book, covering firewalls, IDS, authentication, keys, cracker methods, encryption, 3rd and 4th layer security and so on. The book shall be used for teaching and education. I've a book "Network Security Essentials - Application and Standards - 2nd ed.", but it only have about 400 pages, so it probably doesn't dig deep enough. Anybody who are familiar with this book?
