Hardening Cisco Routers (O'Reilly Networking)

Rating:
Summary: A Goldmine
Review: This book is nothing short of a goldmine. I have read many infosec books, including plenty of Cisco security books, and this one packs twice as much quality information with twice as many topics in a tenth of the space. This one is cut in dry. The layout is perfect. The topic is stated, followed by the vulnerability and then the fix. A network admin's dream, without all of the filler.

Summary: Worthwhile but not a goldmine
Review: This book reminds me more of a couple of magazine articles, than a comprehensive book. It does the job, and **is a must-buy for anyone RESPONSIBLE** for securing Cisco routers, but since I'm not one of these few people, I crossed it off even my "interested" list. Again, to be clear, it IS 5+stars IF precisely relevant to you, but for general knowledge, I'd skip it, fast!

Summary: Great for Edge Devices
Review: This is not a Cisco Security Book. BUT it is a book on how to make your Internet Routers virtually hack/crack proof. Great information on ACL's and gaping security holes that are open on default installs it makes you think.
