Title: Riddled with errors
Product review: This book does a great job of explaning the theory behind netfilter firewalling with iptables. Every concept is backed up with a concise script.And this is precisely why you should avoid this book.Page after page is riddled with glaring errors. Some scripts produce syntax errors. Others yield unexpected results. Entire passages are copied and pasted out of context. Only a handful of errors can be chalked up as mere typos.I spent too much time correcting mistakes that could have been better spent studying the material. If you must read this book, don't blame yourself when you get lost-- the proofreaders were lost as well.
