It depends on what kind of network you will be trying to protect. Some
good resources are:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IPCHAINS-HOWTO.html - it usually starts
here....good network examples are included....
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO.html - features
tunneling...
http://www.robertgraham.com/pubs/firewall-seen.html#2 - firewall
forensics....what are in those logs, anyway??
http://www.sans.org/topten.htm - know one's most common weaknesses...and
BIND (named) tops them all.........
