I'll chime in as well to say that Maximum Security was a great read. Yes,
it is old (very old, 1998). You can't read the book, audit a network and
declare anything as being secure. What it's good for is giving those who
have no or little experience with network security (such as myself) an
idea of where to go, what to look for and how to think when it comes to
learning about MODERN network security.
If Maximum Linux Security is anything like the previous, I would buy it
without even going over the TOC.
Oh, and for those interested, I'd be willing to loan my copy of Maximum
Security to any Jerusalemite's (for a week or so). I saw a copy in
Khol-zev once, so try there if you want you own.
0n another note let me say: I'm kicking myself for not making it to the
meeting this morning (which I'm sure most of you are still attending as I
type). I was stuck at the airport all night last night trying find out
if my brother's flight was canceled or not (which, because of the strike,
it was).
