 good vpn bookJun 01, 2005
By Jeanne Boyarsky
"SSL VPN - Understanding, evaluating and planning secure, web-based remote access" - the only thing wordy about this book is its title. The rest of the book delivers information clearly and concisely through text, diagrams and examples. "Hacker Bob" animates key passages to keep things from getting dry.
As expected, the audience for this book is techies. Basic network concepts are explained, so anyone with a technical background will understand. Any network fundamentals quickly lead to SSL VPN applications.
The authors are good about explaining "why" and providing the pros/cons of a decision. Key criteria are also provided for both technical and business decisions. I found one of the most valuable parts to be about bad architectures. The authors illustrate several common architectures and point out weaknesses. The focus on diagrams and flow was quite useful.
 A consultation...that's it.Mar 06, 2012

This book was a huge disappointment. I know a number of computer languages, worked with servers and the web, so I wasn't afraid of tackling something new. Unfortunately, getting this book was like getting a consultation. It tells you all about it, what you need, and why it works, but something critical is left out WHAT to do, HOW to do it. I put it down still having no clue how to implement it. When I move to a new office, I will leave it behind to gather dust.
