In the years since the publication of the first edition of this classic reference, Internet use has exploded and e-commerce has become a daily part of business and personal life. As Internet usage has grown, so have the security threats-from password sniffers, to IP forgeries, to defacing web sites, to attacks that shut down popular web sites using distributed denial of service. Firewalls are a very effective way to protect your system from many Internet security threats, and they're a critical component of today's computer networks. Like the first edition of "Building Internet Firewalls", this second edition is a practical and detailed guide to designing and building firewalls and to configuring Internet services to work with firewalls. This much expanded edition covers Linux and Windows NT, as well as Unix. It describes a variety of firewall technologies (packet filtering, proxying, network address translation, virtual private networks) and architectures, and more than one hundred Internet services from email and file transfer, to web services and scripting languages, to naming, authentication, and database protocols. The book also contains chapters on security policies, cryptography, maintaining firewalls, and responding to security incidents, as well as summaries of helpful firewall tools and other resources.

Building Internet Firewalls

In horse racing greatness is defined by speed. Being the second fastest counts for little. You have to win. And win. And keep winning until every challenger of your generation is put to the sword. Of the twelve horses lined up on Newmarket Heath that 2011 day, one would do just that. And more. To become the greatest racehorse that has ever lived.

 Frankel was born on 11 February 2008, with four white socks and a blaze, from impressive equine lines on both his parents' sides. Simon Cooper revisits the whole of the horse's life, giving readers an inside tour of the calm oasis that is life a stud farm, where a foal will live with his mother for the first year of his life. Next, the atmosphere of heady possibility that marks the early days of training. Roadwork. Gallops. Trials. Turning raw potential into something more. Frankel begins to set himself apart.

 A detailed and fast-paced narrative breathlessly recounts the racing career of the horse who, by his retirement to stud at the age of 4, would be rated the greatest of all time. Cooper weaves the horse's tale with those of his trainer, battling cancer, the stablehands who coped with his explosive nature, the work rider who tamed him, the the jockey who rode in all fourteen of his races, and the owner who saw his potential from the very beginning. The result is a rich and multifaceted tale of modern horse racing, the lives of everyone involved, human and equine, and the unadulterated glory of winning. And winning everything.
