 Best Firewall Book EverDec 10, 2009
By V. Mitchell
"netguy73"
I've read many books on firewalls and overall technical guides ,and I think this book is one of the absolute best.
Even if you're a novice at Cisco Command Line and Firewalls, you can take this book, and if you follow instructions, you will become an ACE at ASA!
Incredibly put. Very few technical books are written so effectively for any levels of knowledge, from novice to expert.

 OutdatedApr 24, 2011

This book was probably good (for beginners) in its day, but for 8.4 it is highly outdated (and therefor wrong).

It's the ASA BibleJan 27, 2010
By John Matlock
"Gunny"
Basically this book is the Bible on the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA). It starts it's 27 chapters (In the beginning, so to speak) with a basic description of the various models of the ASA. From there it goes on to cover the hardware/software of the appliance. It presumes no fore knowledge of the command line interface, but it does presume you are not a complete beginner. For instance he uses jargon like "IPv6" and presumes that you know what this means. As such, I consider this to be an intermediate level book. It's aimed at the professional market, not the typical user of a $50 home network device.
If it's your job to setup and then maintain a secure network using the ASA, here's an excellent place to start. The writing style is good, the information is complete, and it covers the subject well.

Great book!!Jun 05, 2010
By Adam Tajer
This book is really awesome. Richard Deal is an amazing author, he included almost everything on these 700+ pages. I can recommend "Cisco ASA Config" to anyone interested in learning PIX/ASA stuff. One of the best books I've ever read!!
What you need for the ASA's firewallsMar 21, 2011
By Jeff
After looking at this book, I was blown away at how well it is written, and kept me interested in reading it. If you need to get a ASA up and running, and need to do it fast and correct, this is the book.
This book will be used and used often, and will not sit on my book self, like a few Cisco books that I have, that have been known to help me sleep.
Again a great book, and worth every penny.
