Customer comments on this selection.
 Practical useful
Even if you do not utilise all of the suggestions its handy to have this quick reference manual close by.
 Great Thing in a Small Package
Read it leisurely on Monday Tuesday night. Write out your action plans change controls on Wednesday Thursday. Have a more secure network on Friday.

br /I bought this book with the Cisco Cookbook, and found this to be one of the most important books in a network admin's library. This is the security book that doesn't get mired down in endless pages of white papers. It simply points out major security flaws and holes, and why they should be covered.

br /What good is an Access List if you don't log what is or isn't stopping?
br /What good are your logs if you don't have timestamps backed up by NTP time sources?
br /What good is a complex password if 10 admins know it, and no one has individual logins?
br /
br /The problems and solutions are quickly addressed with enough information to explain to your boss why this needs to be done. Then use the Cisco Cookbook or other guide to fine-tune your own solution that fits your needs.
 Hardening Cisco Router
If you are new with cisco router's security I could suggest this book. However if you are advanced user, it would be wasted money.Overall I did not like the book...
Excellent filler to your library, maybe not essential though
No nonsense. No mucking around. Here's the problem, here's the solution. Have to say though, you probably wont find anything new to you inside this book; but its dead handy for checking you've covered most of your bases (then you'll write a common config script and probably never look at it again!! :) )
 A little thin
It's nice to have all of this information in one place. A lot of it is available elesewhere but not all. The checklists are nice. But there's not so much to it. It doesn't cover any common hacks or vulnerabilities and is quite redundant to fill out the pages.
