System administrators need to stay ahead of new security vulnerabilities that leave their networks exposed every day. A firewall and an intrusion detection systems (IDS) are two important weapons in that fight, enabling you to proactively deny access and monitor network traffic for signs of an attack.Linux Firewalls discusses the technical details of the iptables firewall and the Netfilter framework that are built into the Linux kernel, and it explains how they provide strong filtering, Network Address Translation (NAT), state tracking, and application layer inspection capabilities that rival many commercial tools. You'll learn how to deploy iptables as an IDS with psad and fwsnort and how to build a strong, passive authentication layer around iptables with fwknop.Concrete examples illustrate concepts such as firewall log analysis and policies, passive network authentication and authorization, exploit packet traces, Snort ruleset emulation, and more with coverage of these topics: Passive network authentication and OS fingerprinting iptables log analysis and policies Application layer attack detection with the iptables string match extension Building an iptables ruleset that emulates a Snort ruleset Port knocking vs. Single Packet Authorization (SPA) Tools for visualizing iptables logs Perl and C...

More About Linux Firewalls: Attack Detection and Response
really good, just read the first half. Nice theory about networking attacks This book is one of the best books in information security. Highly recommended.It first explains iptables (no other book explained it so well like in this book)then psad and how they are hooked together,next fwsnort then again how to integrate them all together in order to harden a network.
