UPDATE Oct 7, 2017:
I still keep Linux Firewalls on my bookshelf. It’s a little dated and does not include coverage of firewalld and newer items, but the basics of iptables remain and this is still handy when I’m adjusting my firewalls for a new application, etc. Still useful after all these years…

The original review is below:
I use this book as a reference and that is how it appears to be written. It’s the sort of book I want to have on my shelf so it’s there when I need it. Once my firewalling is setup I’m not futzing with it, so that knowledge goes out of my head; not like I’m configuring them every day. As a reference I find it’e well organized and provides quick access to the information I need, The coverage of iptables helps me get the firewalling task at hand done and to refresh my memory of iptables in’s and out’s. .

I’ve had this book for years. It got me started with linux firewalls, and it’s still helpful when I have to dredge up that skill set even quite a while since I last used it.

I’m sure a lot of the content in this book is available online and some of that will certainly be newer or have some more info. But I like having one place to go for what I need when I need it.
