My book explains how to build, implement, and maintain Check Point FireWall-1, the world's best-selling firewall product. It's packed with tools, tricks, tips, and checklists not found anywhere else, including on phoneboy.com itself. :-) Every major feature of FireWall-1 is covered. Filled with screen shots and sample configurations, the book features step-by-step instructions that can be replicated easily on standard equipment. Developed through years of product support experience, this book is an invaluable resource for FireWall-1 administrators working on Unix, NT, or Nokia platforms.

Not convinced yet? Take a look at the Table of Contents and a sample chapter (requires a PDF viewer).
